Falcons

Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski caught notice when he noticed team president Matt Ryan taking notes and drawing up plays during an interview with a linebacker prospect at the combine.

“Matt was doing what I was doing,” Stefanski said, via the team’s website. “Which was when they were talking about the coverage we were thinking about ways to attack the coverage. So, Matt is scribbling some plays over there, very similar to me. You are listening, but you can’t turn off the Xs and Os brain. It’s just impossible.”

• Matt Zenitz reports the Falcons are expected to hire Ole Miss DC Patrick Toney as defensive pass game coordinator.
