Falcons LISTEN: Can Kaleb McGary Bounce Back vs. Washington?

Locked On Falcons: Week 4 Keys to Victory Plus Listener Q&A

Offensive tackle Kaleb McGary is one of the most important pieces of the Atlanta Falcons.

As the team's starting right tackle for the past three years, McGary holds enormous responsibility, but he's not quite lived up to his status as a first-round draft selection in 2019.

McGary has allowed a pair of sacks in Atlanta's first three games.

Keeping quarterback Matt Ryan upright can really change things for the offense, and it's an area that might be the easiest to improve immediately for the Falcons.

The team's invested a lot of high-level talent at the top of the past few drafts, and if McGary cannot perform at a higher level, it could set the team further back in its rebuild.
