Overview
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Ulbrich will remain Atlanta’s defensive coordinator as Stefanski assembles his staff.
- Rapoport and fellow NFL Network insiders say Tommy Rees is likely to become offensive coordinator, with Bill Callahan expected to oversee the offensive line.
- Owner Arthur Blank previously said he would recommend Ulbrich but would not dictate coordinator choices, and Stefanski’s decision aligns with that stance.
- Under Ulbrich in 2025, the Falcons produced 57 sacks to rank second in the NFL, while finishing 19th in points allowed and 15th in yards.
- Young defenders James Pearce Jr. (10.5 sacks), Brandon Dorlus (8.5) and Jalon Walker (5.5) led the pass rush, and the unit logged 16 interceptions to rank sixth.
