Falcons | OC sees big things from Kyle Pitts in 2025 Tue May 6, 03:06 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts is expected to take 'a big jump' in his second year in offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's system.'I'm expecting Kyle to take a big jump. You know, Year 2 of the system. Year 2 of understanding what we're trying to do offensively. All those things that come with it, so expecting a lot of good things from Kyle. He knows what he needs to work on with the details, some of the fundamentals and techniques, the consistency down in and down out, those are things we talk about with him and (tight ends coach Kevin) Koger talks about with him all the time is those finer details and that next level that he can take as a player. So I'm pumped for Kyle, can't wait to get on the field with him and that's going to be a lot of fun to see his growth,' Robinson said.
| Footballguys view: We touched on this on Sunday when Robinson's quotes first circulated. Adding to that, we'll remind you that Pitts, who doesn't turn 25 until October, had 68 receptions for 1,026 yards as a rookie. But those numbers remain his career bests after four seasons. He had a career-high four touchdowns last year, but his overall line of 47 catches for 602 yards and the four TDs is hardly much to get excited about, especially for a former No. 4 pick. His yards were 13th among TEs, his catches tied for 21st and his touchdowns tied for 11th. Still, the Falcons picked up his fifth-year option for this season, making it a make-or-break year for Pitts in Atlanta. So whatever the formula is for Pitts to find success with the Falcons, it needs to come this year. Time is running out on the potential. |

Falcons | OC expects improvement from Kyle Pitts Sun May 4, 02:15 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts should see a big jump in production this upcoming season because he will be more familiar with the offensive scheme, according to offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.
| Footballguys view: That's the message coming from the Falcons this offseason. Earlier this year at the NFL Combine, both Falcons HC Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot said Pitts needs to be "the best version of himself" in 2025. Pitts is a frustrating player because the physical talent is there, but his production has been disappointing for a former first-round pick. We'll see if this is the year Pitts puts it all together in a TE-friendly system. |

Falcons | ATL fined after prank call saga Wed Apr 30, 11:43 AM
Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich was fined $100,000, and the team was fined $250,000 for the fraudulent phone call made to QB Shedeur Sanders at the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Ulbrich's 21-year-old son admitted to the prank call and apologized in an Instagram post Sunday. The Falcons said in a statement Sunday that Jax Ulbrich wrote down the number from his father's open iPad while visiting his parents' home "to later conduct a prank call." The NFL said the fines were for "failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club in advance of the NFL Draft." The Falcons noted that "the Ulbrich family is working with the organization to participate in community service initiatives in relation to last week's matter." Sanders, who had been widely expected to be selected in the first round before the NFL draft started, had to wait until Day 3 of the draft for his slide to end when the Cleveland Browns picked him in the fifth round. In a conference call with Cleveland-area reporters after the Browns drafted him, Sanders said he wasn't bothered by the prank. |

Falcons | Drake London's option exercised Wed Apr 30, 11:39 AM
Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London had his fifth-year option exercised Wednesday, April 30.
| Footballguys view: London was drafted No. 8 overall by the Falcons in 2022 and has been their top receiver since then. The fifth-year option will go into effect in 2026. London is due around $6.8 million against the team's salary cap in 2025, per Roster Management System, and the option year will be worth in the neighborhood of $16.8 million. Last season, London was fourth in the league in receiving yards (1,271) and tied for ninth in receptions (100) and touchdown catches (9). It was his first time eclipsing the 1,000-yard and 100-reception marks. London opens the year as WR11 on the Footballguys 2025 Draft Projections. |
