The Atlanta Falcons promoted T.J. Yates to the role of passing game coordinator and D.J. Williams to quarterbacks coach on Thursday.
Yates, a former NFL quarterback, served as the team’s primary position coach and Williams as an offensive assistant/assistant quarterbacks coach in the 2024 season.
Yates has been with the Falcons’ coaching staff since 2021 when he was hired as a passing game specialist. He was promoted to receivers coach in 2022.
A fifth-round pick of Houston in 2011, Yates threw for 2,057 yards and 10 touchdowns in 22 career games (10 starts) with the Texans, Falcons and Miami Dolphins.
Yates also spent two seasons as an offensive assistant with the Texans and was promoted to assistant QBs coach in 2020.
Williams spent his previous five seasons (2019-23) as an offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints.
