Falcons’ projected starting lineups for 2025 season with Pro Football Focus grades for each player
The Atlanta Falcons will begin training camp for the 2025 NFL season with their offense and defense in two very different places. Offensively, the team has a new starting center but the rest of the unit remains unchanged from the final week of the 2024 season. Defensively, there’s been quite a bit of turnover.
Starting linebackers Matthew Judon and Lorenzo Carter have been replaced by rookies Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. Veteran Jordan Fuller has taken Justin Simmons’ place at safety, and the team added two rookie defensive backs with a chance to play key roles this season.
Check out our projected starting lineups for the Falcons on offense, defense and special teams, including Pro Football Focus grades for each player.
