Boston College OL Tyler Vrabel, son of Titans coach Mike Vrabel, signed by Atlanta Falcons as UDFA

Boston College offensive lineman Tyler Vrabel, son of Titans coach Mike Vrabel, is signing with the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent, according to NFL Network.

It's an organization that has some familiar faces to the Vrabel family.

Falcons coach Arthur Smith was a part of Mike Vrabel's staff at Tennessee from 2018-20, including two seasons as the team's offensive coordinator, and Atlanta defensive coordinator Dean Pees held the same role with the Titans in 2018 and 2019.

He will have an opportunity to play his way into a Falcons offensive line that struggled in 2021, especially in the running game. Atlanta was 30th in the NFL in rushing yards per carry and 31st in rushing yards in 2021. All five starting lineman started at least 16 games last year, and they all remain on the roster.
