The offensive line of the Atlanta Falcons was rated as the second-best offensive line unit in the NFL in 2017, according to Pro Football Focus.
Center Alex Mack and tackles Jake Matthews and Ryan Schraeder were the top performers on the line. Left guard Andy Levitre missed four of the final five games of the season with a triceps injury, while right guard Wes Schweitzer was the lowest-rated Falcons offensive lineman.
“A lot of what the Falcons do on offense relies on their outside zone runs – a concept they used more times than any other team in the league – and once again they found success on these runs as they averaged 4.45 yards on outside zone, the eighth-highest in the NFL,” PFF’s Zolatan Buday wrote.
