Going into the 2021 season, it was clear that the Falcons needed to do something at the running back position. As good as Ito Smith looked at times, it seems pretty clear that he would not be relied upon to be the lead back for Arthur Smith’s offense.
With Todd Gurley heading elsewhere and Brian Hill a free agent, the team was almost certainly going to draft a running back somewhere in this upcoming draft class. Well, the team has decided to give themselves some options by signing Mike Davis, who previously played for the Carolina Panthers.
