The Atlanta Falcons have secured German kicker Lenny Krieg on a three-year contract following his standout performance at the NFL International Player Pathway program pro day. The Falcons were eager to sign Krieg after competition from other teams arose. Former Pro Bowler Younghoe Koo, who has struggled with injuries, remains under contract, but Krieg provides crucial depth and competition for the position.

In a disappointing 2024 season, Koo's inconsistent play led to a significant missed opportunity for the Falcons, particularly in a pivotal game against the Washington Commanders. The addition of Krieg aims to bolster the kicking game as Atlanta moves forward, hoping to improve upon last year's 8-9 record.
