Heading into contract season Kazee says he is "not worried" about his next contract, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports. Impact The 27-year-old has exceeded expectations for Atlanta, starting 29 contests over the past two seasons and missing zero games since entering the NFL as a fifth-round pick in 2017. Kazee demonstrated play-making ability during 2018 when he tied Kyle Fuller and Xavien Howard with a league-best seven interceptions, but during 2019 he became more reliable in coverage. Kazee allowed a passer rating of just 66.3 when targeted last season (compared to an 82.1 rating during his breakout 2018 campaign) and he also improved his missed tackle rate from 13.7 percent to 12.9 percent. With a third consecutive strong season, Kazee would surely command a new contract from the Falcons or another team in search of a hard-hitting, turnover-creating safety.
