Devonta Freeman joins Eric Dickerson with impressive rushing TD mark

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman currently ranks second in the NFL in rushing yards, as he’s racked up 405 this season already.

Freeman has impressed many in just his second season in the league, and he’s been the ground threat that the Falcons have lacked for many years to complement Matt Ryan and the team’s explosive passing game.

He’s drawn many comparisons to other running backs already, and to me, he looks like a young Steven Jackson. He possesses the burst to break off big runs, but can also break tackles along the way. And he also uses a nice jump cut that makes opposing defenders miss.
