Alex Van Pelt reunites with head coach Kevin Stefanski to develop quarterback Michael Penix Jr. after serving as offensive coordinator and senior offensive assistant in recent NFL roles.
- On Saturday, the Atlanta Falcons hired Alex Van Pelt, 55, as their quarterbacks coach; he was a senior offensive assistant for the Los Angeles Rams last season and New England’s offensive coordinator in 2024.

- His résumé includes playing 12 NFL seasons as a quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, and coaching since 2006, starting with the Bills.
- Van Pelt will work directly with Michael Penix Jr., third-year Falcons quarterback, while the Falcons retained Jeff Ulbrich, Dave Huxtable, Nick Jones and Michael Pitre to preserve continuity.
- Stefanski previously parted ways with Van Pelt in 2023 after a 45-14 playoff loss to the Houston Texans, following Van Pelt's coaching stops with the Buccaneers, Packers and Bengals.
