Given the state of the NFL, where most teams operate with a two running back system, it’s hard to call Atlanta’s competition for the top running back spot a true battle. The Falcons are in a unique situation where they have one of the most fascinating players in the league on their roster to go along with two bruising young players and a former Super Bowl hero at the running back position.
All four players are capable of playing a valuable role in the rotation. Only three will likely end up being depended on.
It’s quite a contrast from last season, where the coaching staff seemed set on giving Mike Davis the workload.
