FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons signed tight end Teagan Quitoriano, the organization announced Friday.
Quitoriano comes to Atlanta as a free agent from the Houston Texans. He was originally a 2022 fifth-round draft pick for Houston out of Oregon State, and though he spent a brief time on the Chicago Bears' practice squad last season, all his active work has been with the Texans.
As a rookie for the Texans, Quitoriano's first career reception was a 2-yard touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. He played in nine games with six starts during the 2022 season and caught seven of his 14 targets for 113 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 16.1 yards per reception.
In 2023, Quitoriano appeared in seven games, starting five. He caught two of his three targets for 33 yards, averaging 16.5 yards per reception.
Quitoriano again played in seven games in 2024, starting four, but did not record any stats.
Quitoriano has a notable injury history. He has spent time on injured reserve in each of his first three seasons. He began the 2022 season on IR as a precautionary measure due to a knee issue that hampered him in training camp. He underwent surgery to repair a groin and oblique injury in 2023 that cut his season short. Quitoriano also strained his calf during the 2024 Hall of Fame Game.
Regardless, Quitoriano joins a tight end room in Atlanta that currently features Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner and Feleipe Franks.
