Top Matt LaFleur Landing Spots, Ranked

5. Atlanta Falcons

This one will ultimately depend on what Matt LaFleur thinks of first-round pick Michael Penix. His overall body of work left a lot to be desired last year, but the team may be stuck with him for at least one more season. Atlanta traded their first-round pick last year, so the Falcons will either roll with Penix fresh off a knee injury or a journeyman free agent.

If LaFleur likes Penix (or believes he can sign Malik Willis), then the Falcons are a phenomenal fit. The rest of the roster is remarkably talented, and it shouldn’t be too hard for this team to compete in a wide-open NFC South.
