The Falcons offense struggled in 2021 under new head coach and offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. The team didn’t have their own version of Derrick Henry, sadly, and the offensive line was frequently a disaster, but how did the actual running backs on this team perform?
Let’s take a look at each guy and how they contributed to the overall season at running back.
Cordarrelle Patterson
Stats: 16 games, 153 carries, 618 yards (4.0 y/c), 6 TDs; 52 receptions, 548 yards (10.5 y/r), 5 TDs
No player surprised fans and writers more than Patterson.
