The Atlanta Falcons have received recognition for their effective use of 12 personnel, which includes two tight ends and two wide receivers. Under new head coach Kevin Stefanski, previously of the Cleveland Browns, the Falcons achieved second-highest EPA on 400 snaps in this formation last season with 49 total explosive plays. Bijan Robinson and Kyle Pitts Sr. have been crucial in optimizing this strategy. As the Falcons prepare for the upcoming season, they may look to fill the wide receiver spot opposite Drake London, with potential candidates including Jahan Dotson and Zachariah Branch. The team aims to build on last season's success with this personnel grouping, which has the potential to further enhance their offensive capabilities.
