Nick Perry is in his second season as assistant defensive backs coach for the Atlanta Falcons after being hired on January 30, 2021.
In 2021, Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell limited opponents to 29 receptions for 200 yards on 66 targets and tallied a career-high three touchdowns. Terrell held opposing passers to a 47.5 passer rating when targeted, according to Pro Football Focus, marking the lowest passer rating by a cornerback that played at least 50 percent of coverage snaps last season. Terrell, in his second season, was named second-team AP All-Pro in 2021.
Prior to joining the Falcons staff, Perry spent the previous four seasons (2017-20) as a graduate assistant and analyst at the University of Alabama during which time the Crimson Tide made three College Football Playoff National Championship appearances, winning two.
Perry signed with the Baltimore Ravens following the 2015 NFL Draft and spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016 before returning to Alabama to begin his coaching career.
