We were mildly surprised to see Scott Pioli leave the Falcons a few weeks after the NFL draft. He was not connected to any other team at any point in his time with the Falcons, so why now?
Some guessed the Jets were interested but there’s no reason for Pioli to step down to interview. Did something go wrong? No, per an early report from Jeff Schultz of The Athletic. It seems hard to believe Pioli would step away from a team when he has been helping them find top players every single draft.
