Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff has been named Sporting News magazine NFL Executive of the Year.
The Bobby Petrino era had potential to haunt the franchise, but Dimitroff immediately cleaned house in Atlanta while transforming a moribund 4-12 outfit into an 11-5 contender. The ex-Pats assistant showed a golden touch in selecting Coach of the Year Mike Smith to lead the troops, signing MVP runner-up Michael Turner, and drafting Rookie of the Year Matt Ryan.
