The Falcons made a big investment into their offensive line last year, drafting both Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary in the first round of the 2019 draft.
Entering 2020, the team needs its sophomore linemen to take another step forward with Atlanta in playoffs-or-bust mode. According to head coach Dan Quinn, both players are off to a good start in training camp, as tweeted by Falcons reporter Kelsey Conway below.
The Falcons had an awful year protecting quarterback Matt Ryan, and were even worse rushing the ball. The team averaged an abysmal 85.1 yards per game on the ground. Down the stretch, however, Lindstrom’s return from a broken foot gave Atlanta’s offensive line a noticeable boost.
Check out this breakdown of Lindstrom’s late-season play by NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger.
