Calling plays for ATL since 2026

Play-calling authority

75%

New HC Kevin Stefanski designated Rees the day-one caller, but it's Stefanski's offensive system, he stays active in game-planning, and he has a track record of holding the call sheet himself in Cleveland.

Tendencies

PaceSlow: his 2025 Browns sample averaged ~30.7 sec/play with ~61 plays per game; under-center huddle offense caps volume
Early downsRun-leaning by design; expect a negative PROE with Bijan Robinson as the centerpiece
Target treeConcentrated on two: his Cleveland offense funneled to the top TE and WR; Drake London's ~32% share fits the mold
SlotNo featured slot role; middle-of-field targets flow to tight ends in the Stefanski-Rees system
MotionHeavy pre-snap motion is a stated Rees staple; the 2025 Browns ranked among the top motion offenses
Red zoneRun-first inside the 20 from 12/13 personnel; play-action TE targets near the goal line
AlsoUnder-center play-action, wide zone plus new gap runs, TE-heavy personnel; slow pace suppresses total plays
Who benefitsBell-cow Bijan Robinson, play-action red-zone TE Kyle Pitts, alpha-X Drake London; ancillary WRs get squeezed

Based on: 2025 Cleveland Weeks 10-18 sample + Stefanski system — first full year calling
