Breaking News Atlanta Falcons Rave About Rookie Star James Pearce Jr.—Former Tennessee Vol Already Making Major Impact

The Atlanta Falcons are buzzing with excitement, and it’s not just because of the upcoming NFL season. Rookie EDGE rusher James Pearce Jr., a former Tennessee Volunteer standout, is quickly earning praise from the coaching staff and teammates alike for his relentless work ethic, smooth transition to the professional level, and laser-sharp focus. Just weeks into his first NFL offseason program, Pearce has already made it clear—he’s all in.

For Falcons fans, this is music to their ears. After finishing the 2024 NFL season with questions on the defensive side of the ball, Atlanta used one of their prized picks in the 2025 NFL Draft to secure Pearce, one of college football’s most explosive edge rushers. The former Tennessee star finished his college career with a dominant final season, racking up double-digit sacks and earning All-SEC honors.

Now, as he dons the red and black in Atlanta, Pearce is not only meeting expectations—he’s exceeding them.

All-In from Day One

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris had nothing but high praise for the rookie after a recent minicamp session, saying, “James has been a pro from the moment he stepped through the door. His effort, his attention to detail, and the way he’s picking up the system—it’s exactly what we hoped for when we drafted him.”

According to reports from Atlanta’s coaching staff, Pearce has been one of the most locked-in players this offseason. He’s been seen spending extra hours in the film room, regularly consulting with veteran pass rushers, and taking every rep like it’s game day. For a rookie, that kind of intensity and commitment speaks volumes.

Built for the NFL Grind

At 6-foot-5 and nearly 250 pounds, Pearce’s athletic profile already screams NFL-ready. But it’s his explosiveness off the edge and ability to disrupt the pocket that truly sets him apart. During his time at Tennessee, Pearce terrorized SEC quarterbacks with his speed, power, and relentless motor. Atlanta is counting on that same energy to help elevate their defense.

Defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake noted, “James plays like he’s got something to prove, every single snap. He’s raw in some areas, sure, but the upside is off the charts. He’s the kind of player you build a defense around.”

Tennessee Roots, NFL Mindset

Pearce’s time at Tennessee helped shape his mentality. Under Coach Josh Heupel, he grew from a raw recruit into a defensive game-changer. Vols fans watched him dominate the trenches in the SEC, and now they’re excited to see him carry that same fire into the NFL.

Pearce himself acknowledged the transition, saying in a recent press conference, “Tennessee prepared me for this moment. The SEC is like the mini-NFL. I learned how to compete, how to lead, and how to be consistent. Now, it’s time to take that to another level.”

A Bright Future Ahead

While it’s still early in his NFL journey, all signs point to James Pearce Jr. becoming a foundational piece of Atlanta’s defense for years to come. The Falcons have made it clear—they’re thrilled with his progress and believe he can be an impact player as early as his rookie year.

If Pearce continues on his current trajectory, he may soon become one of the most feared young pass rushers in the league. And for a franchise hungry for a return to playoff contention, that kind of breakout potential couldn’t come at a better time.

In short, James Pearce Jr. is more than just bought in—he’s already proving he belongs. And the Falcons couldn’t be happier.
