2024 Fantasy Outlook
A rookie fifth-round pick, Bertrand finds himself in a log jam behind Kaden Elliss, Troy Andersen and Nate Landman. However, if Bertrand fails to play his way into a rotational role defensively, the Notre Dame product should make an impact on special teams in Year 1. Read Past Outlooks
Heads home to Atlanta
The Falcons selected Bertrand in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 143rd overall.
ANALYSIS
A metro Atlanta native, Bertrand comes home to the Falcons after spending his college career at Notre Dame. Bertrand led the Irish in tackles each of his last three seasons, topping out at 101 in 2021. A foot injury prevented him from testing during the pre-draft process, but the film shows him to be an instinctive 'backer and sure tackler. He has some thump at 235 pounds but has been knocked for short arms (30.63-inches), which raise questions about his ability to shed blocks and find the ball carrier. Kaden Elliss and Troy Andersen block Bertrand's path to starting, so special teams may be his quickest route to the field early in his career.

Assuming Kirk Cousins continues to make good progress from last season's torn Achilles, the Falcons have all the pieces in place to reach the postseason for the first time since 2017.
