Background

Rees has prior experience calling plays in the NFL. Joins the Falcons as part of Stefanski's inaugural coaching staff. Works alongside Alex Van Pelt as QB coach — Van Pelt is a former coordinator himself, bringing additional play-calling perspective. Passing game coordinator Tanner Engstrand comes from the Ben Johnson-coached Detroit Lions offense, adding continuity with modern offensive concepts.

Scheme and Tendencies

Will work with rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. as the centerpiece of the 2026 offense. Early operational focus is establishing a young franchise QB, with Van Pelt providing support. The staff brings Detroit Lions-influenced concepts through Engstrand (passing game coordinator). Wide receiver coach Robert Prince has 20 years of NFL coaching experience. Rees will inherit an offense that finished bottom-half in many metrics in 2025 but has young playmakers to build around.
