Falcons offensive line has highest Relative Athletic Score in the NFL

When those around the NFL talk about the Atlanta Falcons, they tend to focus mostly on running back Bijan Robinson, wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts. The young offensive stars deserve their share of praise, but the offensive line also deserves some love.

All five of the team’s starting offensive linemen were drafted over the last 10 years. Left tackle Jake Matthews was a first-round pick in 2014 and left guard Matthew Bergeron was a second-round pick in 2023. Right guard Chris Lindstrom and right tackle Kaleb McGary were both taken in the first round of the 2019 draft, while center Drew Dalman was a fourth-round pick in 2021.

When looking at this group, it’s clear that former Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff and current GM Terry Fontenot both value athleticism in their offensive linemen. The best way to track the athleticism of an incoming NFL prospect is by looking at their Relative Athletic Score.

Atlanta’s offensive line has the highest overall RAS in the league, with a combined score of 9.78. Check out each starting lineman’s athletic score below:
