Atlanta Falcons Sign Kilian Zierer as 18th Reserve Player

The Atlanta Falcons have signed offensive tackle Kilian Zierer to a reserve/future contract, adding to their roster depth ahead of the 2025 season. Zierer, who hails from Munich, Germany, previously played at Auburn and spent the last two seasons with the Houston Texans, primarily on the practice squad due to injuries. At 6-foot-7 and 315 pounds, Zierer aims to provide additional depth at offensive tackle during training camp. In addition to Zierer, the Falcons are exploring other potential signings, including meeting with Ole Miss linebacker Chris Paul Jr. as they prepare for the upcoming NFL free agency. The signing reflects the Falcons' strategy of building a competitive team under new head coach Raheem Morris, who is keen to enhance the roster with young talent. As the Falcons continue to develop their team, Zierer represents another opportunity for a player looking to make an impact in the NFL after previously going undrafted.
