People keep bringing that up out of nowhere, but no teams, brought it up to me so I don't bring it up either. As long as I just talk the talk and walk the walk, play with technique nobody actually cares about it.
Welcome, Atlanta Falcons fans, to the Kevin Stefanski experience. Expect the field to shrink, heavier personnel, and an offense built to dictate terms instead of reacting to them. Under Stefanski, expect condensed formations designed to support a physical, efficient run game. With the hiring of Bill Callahan, one of the most respected offensive line coaches in football, that unit isn't expected to be a passable unit. It's expected to be a key component of the team's future success.
When Rivera entered the draft war room in 2023, which would be his last at the helm, he had one prospect on his mind. There was no deviating from the Commanders, even when one of the blue-chip prospects fell into their lap. The head coach was going to take Emmanuel Forbes Jr., and nothing would get in his way. New England saw this coming a mile away. Bill Belichick traded down, safe in the knowledge that he could still get his hands on Christian Gonzalez.
When I was getting the call, my TV was a little delayed, and the Chicago Bears, I thought that they were up. And when I got the phone call I thought that it was the Chicago Bears. And they told me it was the New England Patriots, I was smiling but my heart sunk at the same time.

The Atlanta Falcons officially hired former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski on January 17th. Since then, there have been 13 mock drafts where the Falcons, who are without a 2026 1st-round pick, in case you forgot, are selecting at least one player. Some pundits got so bold as to go through all seven rounds; others set their sights on the top 100. Either way, since Stefanski signed on the dotted line, 26 draft prospects have been sent to Atlanta.
Love is a one-cut and go runner who hits creases fast and keeps his balance through contact. He's dangerous when the blocking gives him a lane because he accelerates quickly and can turn routine runs into chunk gains, and he's more than just a runner. The biggest improvement area is the pass protection and playing under control. He can also put himself in danger by trying to hurdle defenders, which he tries to do often.
