Deadrin Senat

Senat will be playing motivated football with the support of his teammates this season, as he has overcome unthinkable tragedy and misfortune to make it to an NFL training camp, losing both parents within the last couple of years. The 24-year-old admitted to the Tampa Bay Times in December that he "wasn't (always) around the guys who lived life right" during his childhood and early adolescence, but with encouragement from his pastor as well as a local Immokalee, Florida legend by the name of Izzy Gallegos, Senat began playing organized football for the first time in high school. Senat developed into a four-star recruit and went on to earn an offer to play for South Florida, where he became one of the better run defenders in the nation (10.5 tackles for loss as a senior). Now a member of the Falcons and playing alongside a trio of young, ultra-talented defensive linemen in Grady Jarrett, Vic Beasley and Takkarist McKinley, Senat is in an ideal spot to learn and prosper in the NFL, perhaps even capable of becoming a starter at defensive tackle by season's end.
