Another strong link in a sturdy offensive line, featuring one of the best guards on the planet.

If tackle is a position where long-established veterans figure to fill the roster, guard is...fairly similar. The biggest difference is that some of the players in this group are quite young, even if they’re settled in.

Matthew Bergeron heads into his third season as the unquestioned starter, while Kyle Hinton will be in his third year as a core reserve. Bergeron is just 25 and Hinton is just 27, but even grizzled veteran Chris Lindstrom (drafted in 2019) is just 28 years old....

Despite all his accolades and connection with Raheem Morris, many feel the Falcons were wise not to acquire the three-time 1st-team All-Pro cornerback

With the Falcons making significant defensive changes this offseason, it created possibilities to expand on what they would do to upgrade a unit in dire need of talent. Raheem Morris made multiple moves to reunite with former players from his Super Bowl-winning Rams’ defense. Leonard Floyd and Jordan Fuller were signed in free agency to bring a strong presence in areas where upgrades were needed. Could they have brought in another former Ram who happens to be...

Jake Matthews, Kaleb McGary, and Storm Norton are back for another go-around.

For a roster undergoing sea changes in recent years, tackle is a rare rock of stability in a stormy sort of ocean. The Atlanta Falcons have had the same starting tackle duo, with some hiccups and injuries along the way, since the 2019 season. That isn’t going to change in 2025.

Jake Matthews is still starting, as he has been more or less continuously since his rookie season in 2014. Kaleb McGary is also still starting, as he has been more or less continuously since 2019. And Storm...

An in-depth look at how one man’s football journey can impact thousands of lives across the globe.

In his Players Tribune article, released two days after the Atlanta Falcons defeated the then-Oakland Raiders during that magical 2016 season, Mohamed Sanu recounted his incredible journey to the NFL. Born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Sanu spent part of his childhood in Sierra Leone, his family’s homeland.

While he was only there until he was six, Sanu feels a sense of responsibility to give back to the country that helped shape the person who made one of the more [profound impacts on...

In the final game inside the Georgia Dome, an all-time franchise great produced one of his greatest performances in arguably the greatest win in Falcons’ history.

The Julio Jones legacy series had to end here. It had to conclude on a stage that couldn’t have been more momentous for the Falcons. They were hosting the NFC Championship for the first time in four years. They were firing on all cylinders offensively, becoming one of the most terrifying units in the last decade. With Matt Ryan being the NFL MVP and Jones flourishing in the prime of his career, everything was...

After the blockbuster trade was finalized for Ramsey to join the Steelers, there are questions about whether the Falcons should have done everything to acquire the star defensive back.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Atlanta Falcons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

Given the trade rumors and deep connection with Raheem Morris, there was some understandable discussion about Jalen Ramsey joining the Falcons. The organization has shown it’s ready to win now, following...

No team was on the receiving end of Jones’ highlight reel more times than Tampa Bay. They felt his dominance in the biggest way in 2017.

Although Julio Jones earned playoff success and individual accolades in 2017, it was one of his more challenging great years. Beating a surging Rams team on the road in the wild-card round was impressive. Earning a second-team All-Pro spot was a commendable feat. Yet there were long stretches in the season where the Falcons’ offense wasn’t in sync, preventing him from taking over games.

Jones only had two 100+ receiving yard games and one...

There were legitimate business reasons to not pursue Lamar Jackson, but Atlanta’s quarterback situation today still raises questions.

It’s been two years and four starting quarterbacks since the spring of Lamar Jackson’s free agency. The Atlanta Falcons entered that free agency cycle with unproven third-round pick Desmond Ridder as their quarterback.

They left with Taylor Heinicke and zero outgoing calls to the Baltimore Ravens — an equation that befuddled many across the country and caused frustrations to boil over during a volatile 2023 season.

Why?

Why didn’t the Falcons pursue Lamar Jackson? Why did the entire league take that same...
