Die Planung » ATLANTA (AP) — Darius Leonard

Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , the AP’s Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Tarik Cohen have been honored by the Black College Football Hall of Fame as their top pro players for 2018.The award, announced Wednesday, recognizes the most outstanding professional football player from a historically black college and university. Arizona Cardinals safety Antoine Bethea was selected as the inaugural recipient in 2017.Indianapolis linebacker Leonard played at South Carolina State and was selected by the Colts in the second round of last year’s draft. He finished his rookie season with an NFL-high 163 combined tackles (111 solo), eight pass deflections, seven sacks and one interception. His 163 tackles broke the franchise record and helped Leonard make the All-Pro team.Bears running back and return specialist Tarik Cohen attended North Carolina A&T and was drafted in the fourth round in 2017. During the 2018 season, Cohen rushed for 444 yards and three touchdowns. He also had 71 catches for 725 yards and five touchdowns Josh Bellamy Jersey , along with a league-leading 411 punt return yards. He was an All-Pro as a punt returner.The awards were voted on by a selection committee featuring NFL front office members and media members. Will he further justify/earn that ranking with a killer draft class?"Over the past decade-plus in Atlanta, Thomas Dimitroff’s standing among his fellow general managers have remained consistently high in the league itself and has swung wildly between admiration and disrespect elsewhere. When the Falcons nabbed Matt Ryan, traded for Tony Gonzalez, and landed key players like Michael Turner and Julio Jones, he was beloved among fans. When the team stunk the house out in 2013 and 2014 and muddled through 2015, he was pretty well reviled.If you consider his entire stint in Atlanta, though http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-anthony-miller-jersey , it’s hard to argue against Dimitroff being anything but a quality executive, and certainly one of the primary architects of the best stretch of success this team has ever known. His well-known shakiness drafting in the trenches has been his Achilles heel despite better success with the likes of Jake Matthews and Grady Jarrett, but the team he’s built has been pretty successful, having one of the ten best regular season records in the league since he arrived and a surprisingly decent playoff record considering you know what never mind. That’s a typically long-winded way of saying that you shouldn’t be stunned to learn that Dimitroff, who usually grades out in these kinds of rankings as a mid-tier GM, is all the way up at #5 on Gregg Rosenthal’s new rankings at NFL.com. Here’s how Rosenthal justified the ranking:The Falcons seem likely to rebound a bit from their awful, star-crossed 2018 season Womens Sherrick McManis Jersey , which would probably further solidify Dimitroff’s place on this list. It’s worth wondering how much credit for the current roster should go to him versus Dan Quinn or even Scott Pioli, but Dimitroff’s fingerprints are all over some of the moves that have landed the Falcons their best players, and he and DQ are to the best of our knowledge hand-in-hand on the team’s moves. It’s nice to see him get credit, especially after a down year.Of course, what would really cement his legacy is a huge draft class in 2019, one that finally pushes the Falcons over the hump and wins them a Super Bowl. Just saying.
