Atlanta Falcons linebacker De’Vondre Campbell recorded his first NFL sack on Sunday night when he brought Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the ground.

A second-year linebacker out of Minnesota, Campbell’s sack gave the Packers a nine-yard loss during the second quarter of the Falcons’ 34-23 win.

Campbell recorded eight tackles, one pass deflection and one sack in the win inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Campbell was selected by the Falcons in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Last season, he played 11 games and recorded 48 tackles, seven deflected passes, one forced fumble and one interception.
