The Atlanta Falcons have hosted Beau Stephens, a guard from the University of Iowa, as part of their pre-draft preparations for the 2026 NFL Draft. Stephens, who is currently ranked No. 133 on Pro Football Focus's (PFF) big board, is recognized for his exceptional zone-blocking skills. In the 2025 season, he recorded an impressive 91.6 pass-blocking grade and did not allow a sack over the last two years. The Falcons, who already have solid guards in Matthew Bergeron and Chris Lindstrom, are considering Stephens as a mid-round target, especially with Bergeron entering the final year of his contract. The team is looking to bolster their offensive line after the unexpected retirement of Kaleb McGary. Stephens has also met with several other teams, including the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks, indicating his potential as a Day 2 draft pick.
