Grady Jarrett: Year 10

In early 2024, we began documenting the recovery journey that would take Grady Jarrett from a season-ending injury back to his starter role for his tenth season with the Atlanta Falcons. Through these photos and the accompanying video and editorial pieces, we celebrate the relentless determination of a player who has taken the weight of a setback and leveraged it to become stronger both physically and mentally.

The restoration. The return. The renaissance. This is the story of Grady Jarrett, year ten.
