Falcons Interview Steelers' Grady Brown for DC Position

The Atlanta Falcons are conducting interviews for their vacant defensive coordinator position, with Pittsburgh Steelers secondary coach Grady Brown emerging as a candidate. This marks the first time Brown has been interviewed for an NFL coordinator role, despite his rising profile, including serving as the defensive coordinator at the Senior Bowl in 2023. Brown has been with the Steelers since 2021, overseeing a successful secondary that contributed to the team allowing only 20.4 points per game last season. The Falcons recently fired Jimmy Lake after just one season and have also interviewed several other candidates, including Wink Martindale and Lou Anarumo. The search reflects Atlanta's efforts to bolster their defensive strategy moving forward. Brown's extensive coaching background spans multiple college programs, enhancing his qualifications for the role.
