The Atlanta Falcons have made a new addition to their team by signing free agent defensive tackle Prince Emili, as confirmed by his agent, Paul Sheehy. Emili, who is 25 years old, recently played for the San Antonio Brahmas in the UFL this season. Unfortunately, the Brahmas were defeated by the Birmingham Stallions in the championship game that took place last Sunday.
During his time in the UFL, Emili showcased his skills by making 21 tackles, two tackles for loss, and three sacks. Prior to his UFL stint, Emili had brief stints with the Buffalo Bills and the New Orleans Saints in the NFL. He appeared in two games for the Bills in 2022, where he played 22 defensive snaps and recorded three tackles along with a pass defensed.
Despite showing promise in his previous NFL opportunities, Emili has been a free agent since being released by the Saints during last year’s preseason. The Falcons saw potential in Emili’s abilities and decided to bring him on board to strengthen their defensive line.
Emili’s signing with the Falcons brings depth and competition to the team’s defensive tackle position. His experience in both the NFL and the UFL will provide valuable insights and skills to the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. The Falcons’ coaching staff is optimistic about Emili’s potential impact on the team and are looking forward to seeing him in action during training camp and preseason games.
As the Falcons continue to make moves to improve their roster, the addition of Prince Emili is seen as a step towards bolstering their defense and creating a competitive environment within the team. Emili will have the opportunity to prove himself once again at the NFL level and make a significant contribution to the Falcons’ success in the upcoming season.
