Jalon Walker was getting a ride to Charlotte, North Carolina, late Thursday night from his home in Salisbury, N.C. He was scheduled to fly to the Atlanta Falcons' facility the next morning on the team's private jet.

Walker is not the biggest edge rusher in the draft by any means at 6-foot-1 and 243 pounds. But, he is considered a hybrid player who can play ball. Walker received many accolades while playing for the Georgia Bulldogs, including winning the Butkus Award (nation's top linebacker).

The Atlanta Falcons made history Thursday, as linebacker Jalon Walker became the first Georgia Bulldogs player in the first round for the organization.
