4) Chris Chester – RG

Chris Chester was signed by the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 and played very well as the full-time starter at right guard. Chester wasn’t even looked at as being a starter when the team signed him but won the job out of training camp and never looked back.

And because of that, the Falcons re-signed him to a deal and he will likely be the starter at right guard again in 2016. sandwiching Chester in-between Alex Mack and Ryan Schraeder should be perfect. He played well lined up next to Mike Person all season long so just imagine how much better he will play next to a 3-time pro bowler.

He may be a veteran, but don’t sleep on Chester. This is a guy that is more than capable of playing at a high level in 2016.
