## 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.
