March 29, 2025

Kicker Lenny Krieg and tight end Teagan Quitoriano signed with the Falcons on Friday.

A native of Berlin, Germany, Krieg played in the European League of Football with the Stuttgart Surge. In 24 games, he has made 19 of 26 field-goal attempts, with a long of 52 yards. He’s also made 101 of 126 extra-point attempts.

He participated in the recent NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Last season, Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo struggled before ending the season on injured reserve with a right hip injury.

The normally dependable Koo missed nine field-goal attempts, making 25 of 34 attempts. He made his career long, 58 yards to beat the Saints at the buzzer Sept. 29. In the Week 10 loss to the Saints (20-17) on Nov. 10, he missed three field-goal attempts.

Quitoriano, 25, a fifth-round pick (170th overall) by the Texans in the 2022 draft, has played in 16 games and made 11 starts. He’s 6-foot-5 and 258 pounds.
