The Atlanta Falcons headed into the off-season with a glaring need at running back, especially when Steven Jackson announced his release from the team.
The Falcons looked towards free agency. They were involved in confirmed rumors about being in the race for backs such as Justin Forsett. But after no RB signings were made, they went ahead and re-signed the home run threat in Antone Smith. Smith will be returning to the team as a situational back.
In the 2015 NFL Draft, Tevin Coleman heard his name called in round three, and it was the Falcons who drafted him.
