Finding the right words is more difficult than I thought β such irony. I am deeply honored. Not just for me, but for what this represents for the industry moving forward: the first female (and first team-affiliated) recipient of this honor from Georgia. Grateful π€
Our very own @tori_mcelhaney has been named @NSMASportsMedia Georgia Sportswriter of the Year! Congrats, Tori! π

Raheem Morris says Kyle Pitts operated as essentially the "No. 1 wideout" with Drake London out on Thursday night, and he shone in that role with a career night.

This is crazy to me, and something that shouldn't be lost amid a disappointing year. Atlanta has 48 sacks this season. With 8 more, the Falcons can break their single-season record of 55 sacks (1997). They had just 31 sacks in 2024. It was the top priority & a huge turnaround.

Jalon Walker logged another half-sack last night, bringing his total to 5.5 this season in only 12 games. The Falcons knew what kind of person they'd be getting, but Walker has been a revelation as a pass rusher. It's why he should get your #ProBowlVote
