Falcons selected Washington DT Anterio Thompson with the No. 208 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Thompson (6'1"/306) is a fourth-year prospect who never spent more than one season at any school. The well-traveled lineman made his final stop at Washington, where he appeared in all 13 games, totaling 30 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, and 1.5 sacks while also breaking up two passes. He’s a bit undersized for his position but possesses good upper body strength and turned out an impressive pro day, running a 4.73 40-yard dash while putting up 30 reps on the bench press.
