The Atlanta Falcons fired assistant defensive line coach LaTroy Lewis, who is being accused of rape in Michigan, multiple outlets reported Friday.
The dismissal comes after Darko State News reported details of violent behavior, and screen shots of electronic communication between Lewis and the alleged female victim. The incidents reportedly took place when Lewis was an assistant coach at Michigan from 2023-24.
The Falcons put out a statement before Lewis was dismissed.
'We are aware of allegations regarding LaTroy Lewis,' the team statement said. 'We are in the process of gathering information and will have no further comment at this time.'
Lewis, 32, was hired on Feb. 10 by Falcons new head coach Kevin Stefanski.
An Ohio native who played in two games in the NFL as linebacker for the Houston Texans in 2017, Lewis coached at the college level since 2020. Last season, Lewis was the defensive line coach at Toledo.
