Jax Ulbrich, the son of the Atlanta Falcons’ defensive coordinator, found Shedeur Sanders’ phone number on his father’s iPad. The smart tablet was unlocked and open, and he wrote down the number.

Players such as Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. are versatile and can disrupt the quarterback on every down. Walker views himself as an alpha already on defense and will make an immediate/impactful presence there. He has already drawn comparisons to Micah Parsons of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Atlanta Falcons added Oregon State IOL Joshua Gray as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft. Gray is a five-year starter with his first four years spent at left tackle before transitioning inside to left guard for 12 starts in 2024 inside Oregon State's 57-43 run-pass split, zone-heavy scheme.
