Thomas Dimitroff was the Atlanta Falcons’ GM for 12 seasons and the team made the playoffs six times across that span. However, he failed to return to the playoffs after 2017 and was fired midday through 2020 with Dan Quinn.
Dimitroff—who was previously the director of scouting in New England—had a lot of draft hits, but just as many draft misses. The 59-year-old was responsible for drafting players like Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Desmond Trufant, A.J Terrell, and Chris Lindstrom, but also misfired on players like Takk McKinley, Peria Jerry, and Sam Baker.
But after four years away from the NFL, Dimitroff is finally returning to the sport—and the NFC South.
