Jeff Van Note, the Falcons' 18-year anchor, dies at 80

Jeff Van Note, the Atlanta Falcons' all-time leading center and a six-time Pro Bowler, has died at age 80. He spent his entire 18-year NFL career with Atlanta, starting 225 of 246 games and missing only four. Drafted in 1969 as a linebacker, he was moved to center by coach Norm Van Brocklin and became a cornerstone of the franchise. After retiring in 1986, he worked as a color commentator in Atlanta sports media. The Falcons organization and owner Arthur Blank have issued statements mourning his passing, highlighting his resilience and commitment to the team.

Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon, who earned Pro Bowl recognition last season as a corner and returner, is in a heated competition for a starting job in 2026. He emphasizes competing for himself and staying ready, while coach Matt LaFleur notes that the decision will hinge on assignment consistency, ball pursuit, and tackling. The Packers’ unofficial depth chart lists Nixon as the starter with Benjamin St-Juste backing him up, and Nixon started the preseason opener. Nixon is undrafted (2019) and enters the final year of his contract, with about $2.66 million in salary and per-game bonuses.
