Falcons OL Chris Lindstrom: Top 20 NFL Player?

Atlanta Falcons right guard Chris Lindstrom continues to earn accolades after a stellar fourth-season.

The Atlanta Falcons are in the middle of the long offseason, preparing for the NFL Draft with the NFL Combine just less than a week away, along with free agency looming in the near future. 

After a 7-10 season where the Falcons looked like they'd be surpassing expectations, finding themselves in a midseason division race before a four-game losing streak knocked them out. Yet, despite a season that once looked to be a team overachieving, only one player from the Falcons made Pro Football Focus's top-101 players rankings. 

The Falcons' starting right guard, Chris Lindstrom, was ranked No. 12 overall by PFF, ranking just one spot behind Nick Bosa. 

"Atlanta's offense becoming the most run-heavy offense in the game played right into Lindstrom's hands, as he built on a good career thus far to become a human bulldozer this season," PFF said. "Lindstrom was a phenomenal run blocker all season long, and he allowed just nine total pressures across 17 games and over 500 pass-blocking snaps. An underrated element: He committed just two penalties all season."

Lindstrom's top-15 ranking should not come as a surprise, as PFF gave the former 2019 first-round pick the highest overall grade for an offensive lineman at a 95. 

It was a stellar season for Lindstrom as he earned an invite to the Pro Bowl and was the only Falcon voted to the Associated Press's All-Pro teams.
