It seems the Atlanta Falcons only accomplished one of those items. The roster was trimmed down to 53-men on Saturday. And for some reason, the Falcons felt the need to keep six running backs in the quiver. That’s not a typo. Six.
In a league where the running back seems to be devalued each week Ezekiel Elliott and Melvin Gordon go without a new contract, the Falcons took the running back by committee idea to an entirely new level.
During the team’s Super Bowl run, it was the combination of Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.
