Atlanta Falcons training camp 2025 preview: Key dates, notable additions, biggest storylines
Our Summary
The article provides an overview of the key developments and narratives for the Atlanta Falcons as they head into the 2025 NFL training camps. The team aims to achieve consistency at the quarterback position, with Michael Penix Jr. taking over as the starting QB after Kirk Cousins lost his starting role last season. Penix is working to establish himself as a leader and develop chemistry with the largely unchanged receiving corps. Meanwhile, Cousins has transitioned to a backup role, though potential trade discussions could arise if he performs well in preseason.
The Falcons have also made significant moves to strengthen their pass rush, drafting Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. in the first round, and signing Leonard Floyd. These additions are part of efforts to boost a defense that ranked 31st in sacks last season.
Additionally, a notable kicking competition is unfolding between Younghoe Koo, who is coming off a poor season, and newcomer Lenny Krieg. Krieg's contract and performance in the International Player Pathway program
