On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by Atlanta Falcons beat reporter D. Orlando Brown, who has covered the Falcons for over 20 years. They talk about new Bears defensive tackle Kentavius Street and his role on the Falcons defense, his versatility, and his time playing behind Grady Jarrett. They also chat about the Ian Cunningham situation and Dennis Allen’s defense.
The 30-year-old Street (6’2”, 287) has a history in Allen’s defense, and that familiarity may allow him to carve out a solid role in 2026. He’ll likely play tackle, but early in his career, he played defensive end.
“He’s been steady. He’s a guy that they traded for a late draft pick, they needed help inside, and he would always flash whenever he got his opportunity to play,” Ledbetter said. “So, there may be more there than we’ve seen here in Atlanta.”
Getting an Atlanta perspective on the comp pick situation was interesting to hear as well.
Give Taylor’s show a listen in either of the embeds below, and give us your thoughts on how Street will fit in with the 2026 Bears.
