Falcons post-draft roster review: Grizzled veterans dominate tackle

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 Norton, who was picked up in 2023, is a virtual lock to serve as the swing tackle for the third straight year.
