The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for their fifth draft under general Terry Fontenot, which kicks off one week from today in Green Bay, Wisconsin. On Day 2 of the draft, each team will have a current or former player announce their pick.
ESPN's Adam Schefter announced which players will be making the Day 2 selections for each team.The Falcons will call upon former first-round pick Keith Brooking to announce their second-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft.
Brooking, the former Georgia Tech standout, was taken by Atlanta with the 12th overall pick in the 1998 draft. Over 15 NFL seasons -- 11 with the Falcons -- the five-time Pro Bowl linebacker racked up 1,103 solo tackles, 22 sacks and 13 interceptions while appearing in 225 career games (193 starts).
Since the team doesn't have a third-round pick, Brooking can call it a night after Atlanta makes pick No. 46 overall in Round 2. Last year, the Falcons traded up in the second round to acquire Ruke Orhorhoro. The former Clemson defensive lineman played sparingly as a rookie but his role should increase in 2025.
The 2025 NFL draft kicks off on Thursday, April 24 at Lambeau Field. Round 1 begins at 8 p.m. ET.
