Fowler, the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, was prominent in the Rams pass rush that led them to an appearance in Super Bowl 53. By joining the Falcons, Fowler will be reunited with Head Coach Dan Quinn, who served as the Defensive Coordinator at the University of Florida during Fowler’s collegiate career.
