The Falcons announced Tuesday they’ve made some changes to the coaching staff. Headlining the moves is new wide receivers coach and former Falcons backup quarterback T.J. Yates.
Yates, who joined the Falcons’ staff as a passing game specialist last season, working primarily with the wide receivers. Before joining the Falcons, Yates spent two years with another of his former NFL teams, the Texans, serving as an offensive assistant in 2019 and as the assistant quarterbacks coach in 2020. It’s a homecoming for Yates, who hails from Marietta, Ga.
In addition to Yates, the Falcons announced that Mario Jeberaeel will be the team’s assistant offensive line coach.
