Ojulari set the Giants' record for most sacks by a rookie in 2021. His quick first step and relentless motor made him a handful for opposing tackles to contain.

It's the heart of the offseason, with a couple more weeks left until free agency kicks off. That makes it a prime time to dive into the history of the Atlanta Falcons and, of course, argue about it. Today, we're going to kick off a series of articles and votes for the Falcons all-century team. We'll go position-by-position, one to two a day, and try to come up with a starting lineup and direct backups who should be considered the best of the best for the Falcons from 2000-2025.

The Falcons' challenge will be their need to evaluate Penix for another year to see whether he's their long-term answer at quarterback. Complications arise since Penix is coming off another season-ending knee injury, which makes it unlikely that he'll hit the ground running whenever he gets back on the field. The injury means he'll spend his offseason rehabbing rather than taking the critical reps he needs in practice to improve.

Welcome, Atlanta Falcons fans, to the Kevin Stefanski experience. Expect the field to shrink, heavier personnel, and an offense built to dictate terms instead of reacting to them. Under Stefanski, expect condensed formations designed to support a physical, efficient run game. With the hiring of Bill Callahan, one of the most respected offensive line coaches in football, that unit isn't expected to be a passable unit. It's expected to be a key component of the team's future success.
