After adding two first round picks to the group, the Falcons suddenly have real upside here.

The Atlanta Falcons have struggled to get much of note out of their outside linebacker/EDGE group for far too long, which we’ve hashed, re-hashed, and re-re-hashed over the course of those years. That led to one of the most eyebrow-raising first rounds in Falcons draft history earlier this spring, with the team drafting Georgia pass rusher Jalon Walker and trading back up to grab Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr.

The net effect is that this group, minus grizzled veteran signing Leonard Floyd, is...

The Falcons dip into the UFL to add to a talented running back room.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed Jashaun Corbin after he led the UFL in rushing yards with 514. The Rockledge, Florida, product went undrafted out of Florida State in 2022, bouncing between the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers rosters for two seasons before joining the San Antonio Brahmas.

Corbin only got one carry in his first NFL stint, but he made the most of his time in the UFL. He led the league in rushing in his debut season with an impressive 97.8 yards per game...

Jones continued his dominant start to the 2015 season, leading the Falcons in a comeback road win over the Giants, featuring one of his all-time greatest jaw-dropping catches.

There were several memorable performances from Julio Jones in 2015. Selecting only three games from that year for an all-time top-ten performances list was challenging. He started the season with three 100+ yard games and ended the season the same way he began in the final three games.

There was also another three-game stretch in the middle of the season, where he produced 100+ yards. Jones led the league in receiving yards,...

Long-time legends have come and gone, giving newer faces a chance to make history.

Just a few years ago, any article about where current Atlanta Falcons stood on the list of all-time statistical categories on offense would have been easy to put together. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones were #1 in basically everything passing and receiving, after all, and could be considered two of the greatest Falcons ever.

We’re out of that era and into a new one. Now, looking ahead to the 2025 season, active leaders are either young players trying to make their marks or stopgaps soon to...

Where do the Falcons go from here with their backup veteran quarterback?

As one quarterback saga ends, another one becomes more perplexing. The Steelers had to be considered a realistic trade partner for the Falcons to find a solution for Kirk Cousins. Given the state of their roster, it seemed like an ideal fit to bring some stability to an offense well-suited to a quarterback like Cousins. They opted to go the more direct route by finally signing Aaron Rodgers.

That leaves the front office with minimal options for a possible trade. Barring a training camp or preseason quarterback injury,...

The Falcons have added multiple new faces to inside linebacker, but the sure things are few and far between.

Inside linebacker is not at the top of the list of needs for the Atlanta Falcons, but it is still a position with more question marks than the Riddler’s favorite pajamas. Outside of one established veteran about to hit 30 years of age, the group is young players who are new to the team and young players who either don’t profile as starters or have had their careers derailed by injury.

It all adds up to a very unsettled picture. I...

Will you answer the call?

A year after having zero open practices, the Atlanta Falcons have announced 11 dates that fans can attend.

Last summer, unfortunate construction scheduling prevented fans from attending practices at camp, which seems like something the team’s business operations group should’ve been more on top of. Nevertheless, fans will now have the opportunity to attend practices spanning from late-July to mid-August. There are a handful of key dates fans will have extra interest in attending.

July 26th is part of the NFL’s Back Together Weekend, and fans attending the open practice will have the chance to...

After the Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers, it raises further questions about where Cousins could fit elsewhere.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Atlanta Falcons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

There was some optimism that the Steelers could become fed up with waiting for Aaron Rodgers and pursue Kirk Cousins. That potential plan was eventually ended with the move finally materializing for Pittsburgh. It takes another team off the market in the hopes of...

After putting on a show against Green Bay on Monday Night Football in 2014, Jones returned with another spectacular primetime performance in the 2015 season opener against Philadelphia.

The Eagles were arguably the most fascinating opponent for Julio Jones. There wasn’t a NFC team he was more productive against than them per game. He averaged 117.2 receiving yards per game with five touchdowns against them in six matchups. Those are outstanding numbers, especially considering how good the Eagles were during long stretches in the 2010s. As well as Jones played against them, he suffered some agonizing defeats in those matchups....

Will Kyle Pitts be playing for the Falcons in 2025?

Kirk Cousins isn’t the only player that the Atlanta Falcons need to make a major decision on. The franchise has received interest from multiple teams in trading for Kyle Pitts. Following another inconsistent season with more frustration than gratification in the ultra-talented tight end’s performances, many have pondered whether Pitts is best suited to playing in Atlanta.

Would his skill set be maximized more effectively in a different offense? Are the Falcons fighting a losing battle trying to integrate Pitts into their weekly game plan?

There’s no denying Pitts has...
