Full stop: Running back is one of the strongest positions on the 2019 Falcons roster, at least on paper. They go at least three deep, and if they unexpectedly re-sign an impending free agent, they’ll have four contributors on the team. Earlier today, we looked at the running back position in 2018, with its huge injury to Devonta Freeman, the emergence of Ito Smith, and Tevin Coleman’s year in summary. Right now, we’re going to look at what the Falcons could and should do at the position in 2019. It’s either an extremely easy call or a difficult one, depending entirely on what kind of contract you’re comfortable lobbing at Coleman for the coming year and beyond.
