De'Vondre Campbell is an Atlanta Falcon! It's what SBN blog The Falcoholic predicted for their 4th round pick. IowaGopher foresaw the same possible outcome. And if Twitter reactions are any indication, Atlanta observers seem pleased with the pick. People are aware that he has room to grow, but it's also clear that many folks are very excited by his speed and athleticism.
You know who else is excited? De'Vondre. He's coming to camp with some fire:

Pro Football Focus starts us off with this little nugget I wasn't aware of:
When in coverage in 2015, De'Vondre Campbell allowed a QB rating of just 56.1 on targets against him. #FalconsDraft

Like the Campbell pick here a great deal. Good athlete, everything you want physically, just needs coaching.

De'Vondre Campbell is another #Falcons speed pick (remember this theme). He's a big inside LB who could move outside some & attack the QB

I liked De'Vondre Campbell. Hate that he's a Falcon now.

You guys ready for this analysis… De’Vondre Campbell can RUN and HIT. See the trend here? Falcons racking up their speed guys on defense

#Falcons If De'Vondre Campbell can gain 10 lbs and not lose speed, he compares to K.J. Wright. pic.twitter.com/20GH5oSwgD
