Atlanta Falcons have Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded player

Forget being the best player at his position, Atlanta Falcons offensive guard, Chris Lindstrom has officially become one of the best players in the entire NFL.

He has been the leader of an offensive line that is springing holes open for a Falcons running game that is better than it has been in decades. He deserves more credit for the impact he is having on this team.

Atlanta Falcons OG Chris Lindstrom is the best NFL player, per PFF

If you want attention in the NFL then the last thing you should be is an offensive guard, clearly. The best player at the position and one of the best players in the NFL, if not, the best,  is on the Atlanta Falcons and a lot of people still do not know his name. People need to start recognizing the name ‘Chris Lindstrom.’

Pro Football Focus, as of today, has him with an overall grade of 93.8 which is actually tied for the highest grade in the NFL through 13 weeks. He is tied with 49ers offensive tackle, Trent Williams. But Williams has played about 200 fewer snaps, so we will say that the advantage goes to Chris Lindstrom.

After those two players, the next highest-graded player is Las Vegas Raiders’ running back Josh Jacobs with a 93.4 overall grade. At offensive guard, no one comes close to Chris Lindstrom, relatively speaking, as Joel Botonio of the Cleveland Browns has a grade of 88 overall.

Lindstrom is on a hot streak right now as he has had a grade of at least 94 for three straight weeks. If you pay attention to Pro Football Focus grades then you know that is ridiculously good. In weeks 2 and 3, he had grades of 90.4 and 97.1!

In conclusion, it is time for this offensive lineman from the Atlanta Falcons to finally get some credit because he is simply one of the best players in the entire NFL.
