Report: Ogbah set to visit Falcons

FLOWERY BRANCH – Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, one of the most prolific pass rushers in the draft, is set to visit the Atlanta Falcons less than 10 days before the draft, according to a report by the Houston Chronicle.

Ogbah, 6-foot-4 and 270 pounds, had 28 sacks in three seasons with the Cowboys. He played at George Bush High in Houston. He also has a visit lined up with the Carolina Panthers, who have the 30th pick.

The Falcons hold the 17th pick in the draft and possibly could trade back in the draft and get Ogbah, who is the seventh rated defensive in the draft, according to NFLdraftscout.com. He’s rated behind Ohio State’s Joey Bosa, Oregon’s DeForest Buckner, Clemson’s Shaq Lawson, Eastern Kentucky’s Noah Spence, Clemson Kevin Dodd and Florida’s Jonathan Bullard.
