ESPN's Chris Mortenson is reporting that the Atlanta Falcons are courting former Jacksonville offensive line coach Andy Heck. The Dolphins and possibly the Rams have also been rumored to be interested in Heck.

2011 was Heck's 20th season in the NFL including 12 years as a player and eight as a coach. Heck spent the other eight years as a coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars joining the staff in 2004 as an offensive assistant/assistant offensive line coach. Heck was promoted to line coach in 2006 and has served in that position for the last six seasons. He was not retained by former Falcons coach Mike Mularkey when he took over the head coaches position in Jacksonville.
