The Atlanta Falcons have named T.J. Yates as passing game specialist, Lanier Goethie as a defensive assistant and Nick Perry as assistant defensive backs coach, the team announced Saturday.
Yates joins the Falcons coaching staff after spending the last two seasons working with the Houston Texans. In 2020, he served as the assistant quarterbacks coach helping Deshaun Watson earn his third Pro Bowl nod. With Yates’ assistance, Watson led the NFL with 4,823 passing yards while throwing 33 touchdowns against seven interceptions and completing 70.2 percent of his passes. Yates spent the 2019 season as an offensive assistant helping the Texans capture an AFC South title after a 10-6 regular season. Houston defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round and advanced to the Divisional Round for the fourth time in team history.
