If he can consistently pressure quarterbacks and shut down the run, he could skyrocket from late-round pick to top-100 prospect overnight. With scouts watching closely in Dublin, Deal has the chance to prove he’s the solution Atlanta desperately needs — no perfection required, just better than what they currently have.
