Second-year pass rusher Vic Beasley Jr., led the Falcons and the league with 15.5 sacks in 2016.

After recording four sacks over 16 games as a rookie, Atlanta Falcons defensive end Vic Beasley had a breakout season in 2016, leading the NFL in sacks (15.5) and forced fumbles (six).

The second-year starter was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2015 draft out of Clemson.
