One of the most intriguing battles in Falcons training camp this summer is going to happen at left guard, a job that is truly wide open for the first time in years. Getting it right—or as right as possible, given that peak Andy Levitre is not walking through that door—is going to be one of the more important things Atlanta does this summer. Protecting Matt Ryan and installing an actually effective ground game is critically important, after all, and the left guard and center spots are both currently unsettled.
It’s not a final list, given that the team will likely add more talent to the battles if they can swing it financially, but we have a sense of who the competitors at both positions will be for the moment.
