Atlanta Falcons Roster 2023-24
The Falcons will be looking to improve upon their playoff situation in the upcoing NFL season having missed out on a playoff berth since 2017. Players like defensive tackle Grady Jarett and offensive lineman Chris Lindstrom are crucial members of the Falcons' squad. They are standouts in an otherwise lacklustre Falcons squad. Tight end Kyle Pitss is arguably the best offensive player for the Atlanta Falcons and will be heading into the upcoming season as a force to rely on.
The Atlanta Falcons had a successful drafting spree and left the 2023 NFL draft with six new players — three on offense and three on defense. Round 1 pick is running back Bijan Robinson who has the potential to be a starter for the team if he can perform well in his rookie season. Offensive lineman Matthew Bergeron and pass rusher Zach Harrison have the potential to be impactful for the Falcons in the upcoming season too.
