Who will be the Falcons’ backup center in 2019?

The Falcons added a ton of offensive line help in the 2019 NFL Draft, with two first-round picks bolstering the group. G Chris Lindstrom and RT Kaleb McGary will be the presumptive starters heading into training camp, giving Atlanta arguably the strongest starting five that they’ve had during Matt Ryan’s entire career. Depth at guard and tackle is also strong, with players like Ty Sambrailo and James Carpenter providing valuable veteran insurance.

A point of concern remains, however, at center. Alex Mack has been an awesome addition (arguably the best of Dimitroff’s tenure) who has been quite durable, but the Falcons have virtually nothing behind him.
