The Falcons have been wanting good news for a while now and having the top ranked guard on your roster is some news they like to hear. PFF has ranked Lindstrom at number one after he put up his best season in 2024.
Lindstrom is a three-time pro bowler and has been named to three straight second-team All-pros. Since 2022, Lindstrom has been one of the best linemen in the NFL and has done a great job protecting anyone behind center.

Lindstrom had a 95.5 rating in 2024 and was a force to be reckoned with on the offensive line. Lindstrom is now 28 and has improved ever season that he has been a pro, all have been with the Falcons.
The Falcons have young weapons all around, that starts with Michael Penix Jr., Drake London and Bijan Robinson. Lindstrom's pass and run protection is going to be vital this season for each of these players to have stellar seasons.
Lindstrom was the 14th pick out of Boston College in 2019, and he missed most of his rookie season with a foot injury. Since that season he has maintained his health and has blossomed into one of the best linemen in the NFL.
The Falcons must rely a bunch on a player like Lindstrom. Jake Matthews and Kaleb McGary are instrumental as well; to help Lindstrom and the Falcons maintain a solid offensive line. Being named the top Guard in the league is a big deal for Lindstrom and the Falcons, now it is time for them to prove PFF and others right.
