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.

Won't debut Week 1
Orhorhoro (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Orhorhoro battled a shoulder injury during training camp but was omitted from the Falcons' Week 1 injury reports. However, the rookie won't make his NFL regular-season debut versus Pittsburgh after being a healthy scratch. With Brandon Dorlus (coach's decision) also inactive, the Falcons may have to rely heavily on their starting defensive line -- Grady Jarrett, David Onyemata and Zach Harrison.
