2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 35th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Orhorhoro didn't play football until his junior year of high school and spent five years at Clemson, where it took him a few years to get playing time. Over his final three collegiate campaigns, Orhorhoro totaled 84 tackles, including 24 for loss and 11.5 sacks, nine pass defenses and two forced fumbles across 39 games. At 6-4 and 294 pounds, Orhorhoro still needs to add some weight and develop his technique, but he could be thrust into an expanded role as a rookie if Grady Jarrett isn't 100 percent healthy following a torn ACL in 2023.

Placed on IR
Orhorhoro (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Friday, Will McFadden of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Orhorhoro suffered the ankle injury in Atlanta's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers in Week 8, and he will now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games as he recovers. In his absence, Ta'Quon Graham is a candidate to step into a larger role on the Falcons' defensive line.
