The Atlanta Falcons hold their training camp at their practice facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia.

Falcons Raheem Morris was spotted trying to guard wide receiver star Drake London in a video clip.

However, things didn’t go smoothly for the 48-year-old.

Morris, who played as a safety in college football, attempted to defend the team’s No. 1 wide receiver London during a drill.

But London fought against press coverage from his coach and shoved him to the ground, as seen in a video from Fox 5 Atlanta.

Luckily, after the play, Morris didn’t seem injured as he laughed while he got up from the ground.

Morris wasn’t done participating in the team’s drills as he then went face-to-face against wideout Ray-Ray McCloud.

He then appeared to joke with the 2022 first-round pick London.

Morris will look to guide the Falcons to the playoffs in his second full season as head coach.

Last season, his team went 8-9 and missed the playoffs.

Atlanta hasn’t made the playoffs since 2017.

The Falcons will begin the season with 2024 first-round pick Michael Penix, who took the quarterback position from veteran Kirk Cousins in Week 16 last December.

London will hope to be even better after a career-best season at wide receiver.

He posted 100 receptions, 1271 yards, and nine touchdowns last year.
