"Kevin Stefanski is bringing one of his former offensive coordinators to Atlanta. Alex Van Pelt, who worked under Stefanski in Cleveland from 2020 to 2023, will be joining the Falcons as their quarterbacks coach, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Van Pelt, 55, served as a senior offensive assistant for the Rams in 2025. He was the Browns' offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2023 with the added title of quarterbacks coach in his final year."
"After leaving Cleveland, Van Pelt served as the Patriots' offensive coordinator in 2024 before he was hired by the Rams in 2025. New England finished as a bottom-three offense under Van Pelt, who struggled to get going in his rookie season. The Rams' offense in 2025 was far more successful, but Van Pelt's impact is harder to quantify given the presence of Sean McVay and Nate Scheelhaase in Los Angeles."
Alex Van Pelt will join the Atlanta Falcons as quarterbacks coach after working under Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland from 2020–2023. Van Pelt, 55, served with the Rams as a senior offensive assistant in 2025 and was New England's offensive coordinator in 2024. He was Cleveland's offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2023, with improved middle-of-the-league production compared with the prior decade. Van Pelt has held various positions with the Bills, Packers, Buccaneers and Bengals, often as quarterbacks coach, and worked closely with Aaron Rodgers for four seasons. Van Pelt will continue developing Michael Penix and may prepare a new quarterback for 2026.
