Atlanta promote Ryan Pace, Tokunbo Abanikanda to new front office roles

The Atlanta Falcons love to make changes to their roster, but they’re also not shy about shuffling their front office under general manager Terry Fontenot. That was true today, as the franchise promoted and added several executives.

The most familiar name for many fans will be Ryan Pace, who is now the president of football operations for player personnel. Pace joined the Falcons in 2022, fresh off a stint as the Chicago Bears general manager that saw him fired when their fortunes did not improve, and he served as a senior personnel executive that year before earning a promotion to director of player personnel in 2023.
