We begin our review of Atlanta’s offensive line from this past season by evaluating how the guards fared in opening up running lanes and stifling pressure regarding the passing game, from the interior.
After a 2020 season where the guards were actually fairly solid for the Falcons, the position group took a noticeable step back, despite the continued improvement and maturation of Chris Lindstrom as a linchpin of the unit.
Lindstrom helped anchor the right side of the offensive line following the leap he made in his sophomore campaign in 2020. He was joined by rookie Jalen Mayfield as his counterpart, at left guard.
