"Malone, 26, has been a core special teams contributor in Atlanta for the last four years. Despite the team's coaching change, he will return for a fifth season under new head coach Kevin Stefanski and special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman."
"Originally the 82nd overall pick in the 2022 draft, Malone appeared in 15 games as a rookie with exactly 216 snaps on defense and special teams. In his next three seasons, though, he played just 111 defensive snaps with a core role on special teams."
"Malone's special teams snap share stayed above 75% from 2023 to 2025. He appeared in every game in the first two seasons, but was limited to nine last year due to a broken ankle suffered in November."
