The Falcons running back depth is a big question mark for 2021, though we think we have a pretty good idea of who is starting. The team moved on from the three primary backs of 2020 in Todd Gurley, Brian Hill and Ito Smith and signed Mike Davis in the off-season. He will join Cordarelle Patterson and Qadree Ollison (and possibly an undrafted free agent) to form the new unit in the backfield, and will likely be the lead option.
Davis had his best year in the NFL at age 27 with the 2020 Carolina Panthers - a team that struggled offensively.
