With the departure of Todd Gurley, the Atlanta Falcons are set to have a full-blown competition at running back this offseason. The team did sign Mike Davis in free agency and while he should start as RB1 he will have plenty of competition and the rest of the depth chart is wide open.

With the Atlanta Falcons passing on a running back in the draft running backs coach Desmond Kitchings opened up on the competition in this backfield in a conversation with The Athletics Tori McElhaney.
