The Atlanta Falcons recently announced that the team and Steve Sabo, director of pro personnel, have decided it was time for a change.
"After 12 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, I am looking to the future as Terry Fontenot and I have mutually decided it's time for a new opportunity," Sabo said in an article on the team's site.
Sabo spent time as a scout who was responsible for various geographical regions before he moved up the chain, the Falcons reported. He was part of the scouting team that was responsible for identifying a few late-round picks — Russell Gage, Grady Jarrett and Foye Oluokun among them — who ended up filling valuable roles for the team.
"I've been fortunate to fill a variety of roles on both the college and pro sides for the organization, from area scout to director of college scouting to director of player personnel and pro director, and I am grateful for that," Sabo said.
During his tenure, the Falcons advanced to postseason play several times, including 2017 when they earned a trip to the Super Bowl, the Falcons reported.
