Ranking the Falcons top 10 players going into 2022
3) Chris Lindstrom – RG
The Atlanta Falcons have one of the few elite guards in the league, even though he may not be Quenton Nelson status, he is still among the best. Lindstrom is also the only player from the 2019 draft class that has panned out.
He was one of only two bright spots the Falcons had on their offensive line. He has still not even hit the prime of his career, so he should only get better as he continues to get stronger and more technically sound.
Terry Fontenot needs to give him his payday as soon as possible because he has earned it. He is one of the most underrated players in the league. The Falcons need to build an elite line so that Lindstrom will finally get the credit he deserves.
2) Kyle Pitts – TE
Kyle Pitts quite literally might be the most talented player in the NFL. He has not even come close to his potential after a record-setting rookie year. No one else in the league has the combination of size, speed, route running, and hands that he has. Not to mention he is still only 21-years old, meaning he is one of the youngest players in the NFL.
If you thought his rookie season was sensational, then you better watch out for what is about to come. The only thing that can stop him is quarterback play, so Atlanta needs to figure out that situation sooner than later.
