The Atlanta Falcons have one of the better offensive line coaches in football, as Dwayne Ledford has worked wonders with the likes of Drew Dalman, Elijah Wilkinson, Storm Norton, and others in recent years. Still, they would love to just have five talented starters lining up so Ledford and company don’t have to work magic, and they took an important step toward that outcome in 2023 when they drafted Matthew Bergeron in the second round.
Bergeron came to Atlanta expected to shift from left tackle to left guard after an impressive career at Syracuse, and sure enough, that’s where he was in the summer.
