The Atlanta Falcons, led by general manager Terry Fontenot, are gearing up for their fifth draft as they head to Green Bay, Wisconsin, for the 2025 NFL draft. On Day 2 of the draft, former first-round pick Keith Brooking, a standout linebacker who spent most of his career with the Falcons, will announce Atlanta's second-round selection.
Brooking, drafted 12th overall by the Falcons in 1998 after a successful career at Georgia Tech, boasts an impressive NFL resume with 1,103 solo tackles, 22 sacks, and 13 interceptions over 15 seasons. With Atlanta not holding a third-round pick, Brooking will conclude his announcing duties after announcing the team's pick at No. 46 overall in Round 2. The Falcons made a notable move last year by trading up in the second round to acquire Ruke Orhorhoro from Clemson, who is expected to take on a larger role in the upcoming season.
The 2025 NFL draft commences on Thursday, April 24, at Lambeau Field, with Round 1 set to start at 8 p.m. ET.
