The Underrated Elite: Lindstrom's Hidden Brilliance | Atlanta Falcons News

Despite seven seasons on a team that’s never won a playoff game, he’s earned four Pro Bowls and, according to Pro Football Focus, delivered the best season ever for a guard in 2022 — earning a perfect 95.0 grade and topping all NFL players. He followed that with back-to-back elite seasons, including a 93.5 in 2024, yet still ranks fifth among guards in ESPN’s personnel poll. His five-year, $105 million extension proves the Falcons see him as a cornerstone — but true league-wide recognition may just need a playoff run to finally catch up.
