Falcons Madden OL Ratings: Who's The Best Atlanta Lineman?
There's been a lot of criticism about the Atlanta Falcons offensive line.
All of the criticism is completely warranted, considering the unit allowed 40 sacks a season ago, placing in the bottom-half of the NFL.
While fingers can be pointed in any direction, none should go towards right guard Chris Lindstrom. A 2019 first-round pick out of Boston College, Lindstrom has started every game the past two seasons, emerging as one of the league's best guards.
Now entering year four, Lindstrom had his fifth-year option picked up by the Falcons earlier this offseason. The 25-year-old is eligible for a contract extension, something he opted not to discuss upon arrival at training camp.
Lindstrom did, however, say that he "would like to be with Atlanta for as long as possible," according to ESPN.
Madden 23 recently released its ratings and gave Lindstrom the highest marks of any offensive lineman with an 84 out of a possible 99.
