Entering year three, Atlanta Falcons guard Chris Lindstrom is among the most underappreciated starters on the entire roster. He is also among the most overlooked players across the National Football League.

In 2020, Lindstrom was third in the NFL in total snaps taking 1,122 snaps for the Atlanta Falcons and he allowed just four sacks. According to Pro Football Focus, he graded out at 77.1 overall for the season, which was far better than All-Pro guard Joe Thuney, who got a five year $80 million deal this off-season from the Chiefs after spending the first five years in New England, where he helped them win two Super Bowls.
