The Atlanta Falcons have a deep, talented running back stable. Devonta Freeman, Tevin Coleman, and Ito Smith: that’s a formidable trio. The Falcons are completely set at running back as training camp nears. What a luxury! But fast forward a year. One year from today, the running back depth chart will have a different look.
If you’re inclined to believe the AJC’s D. Orlando Ledbetter, then the writing is already on the wall for Coleman. He’s as good as gone, that narrative goes. Enjoy him while he’s here, they say. But I disagree, to an extent.
