There's no disputing that Bijan Robinson is the best player on the Atlanta Falcons' roster this year. As to who's the second best, there are almost a dozen candidates with a decent case.
The strongest of them is likely that of right guard Chris Lindstrom, who Atlanta picked in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Since then he's made four Pro Bowl teams and played at a consistently high level for the Falcons. Perhaps most impressively he's only missed one game due to injury since his rookie season.
Lindstrom is the lynchpin of Atlanta's starting combo at guard, a duo that has been ranked one of the top five in the league by Matt Verderame at Sports Illustrated.
"Lindstrom has long been one of the standard-bearers at guard. A four-time second-team All-Pro, Lindstrom has been a tower of power for the Falcons since being drafted in 2019, only missing one game since his rookie campaign. All told, Lindstrom's grade of 88.4 on Pro Football Focus ranked second among guards, while his 91.7 run-blocking mark topped the charts."
Not to be overlooked, left guard Matthew Bergeron also earned praise in the blurb from Verderame.
