Atlanta Falcons:

Projected Starters for 2025: Jake Matthews (LT), Matthew Bergeron (LG), Ryan Neuzil (C), Chris Lindsrtom (RG), and Kaleb McGary.

The offensive line the Atlanta Falcons are expected to roll out in 2025 is an offensive coordinator’s dream. They return continuity at every position and were arguably a top 10-unit last season.

Carolina Panthers:

Projected Starters for 2025:  Ikem Ekwonu (LT), Damien Lewis (LG), Austin Corbett (C), Robert Hunt (RG), and Taylor Moton (RT)

This starting lineup returns intact from last season, which means chemistry shouldn’t be an issue. However, significant improvement is needed if the Panthers hope to compete in the NFC South. Depth remains a potential concern heading into 2025.

New Orleans Saints:

Projected Starters for 2025: Kelvin Banks Jr. (Rookie LT), Trevor Penning (LG), Erik McCoy (C), Cesar Ruiz (RG), Taliese (RT)

The Saints addressed their offensive line this offseason, especially with the addition of rookie Kelvin Banks Jr. However, questions remain about the interior. It will be interesting to see how Kellen Moore and Klint Kubiak manage these challenges with a new quarterback under center.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

Projected starters for 2025: Tristan Wirfs (LT), Ben Bredeson (LG), Graham Barton (C), Cody Mauch (RG), Luke Goedeke (RT)

Tampa Bay’s offensive line is coming off a stellar 2024 campaign. If they take even a modest step forward, this group could help the Bucs make serious noise in the NFC. The key question is whether they can maintain their high level of play without Liam Coen calling plays.
