The 4 Falcons under the most pressure in 2020

Every year, NFL players face tremendous pressure. Young players are expected to improve. Veterans are expected to defy age.

OT Kaleb McGary

While McGary didn’t have a great rookie season, he was solid and showed outstanding toughness by playing through injury as a first-year starter. He undoubtedly improved as the season went along — especially when Chris Lindstrom got healthy — but McGary’s ceiling will have a massive effect on how good the offense as a whole can be.

If he takes another step forward, the Falcons’ offensive line could go from a weakness to a strength. Atlanta should be able to hang with any team in the league if this group can protect Matt Ryan and open up running lanes for Todd Gurley.
