Poll: Who should be the Atlanta Falcons’ starting running back?

Running the football hasn’t been a strength for the Atlanta Falcons for a number of years now, but it could be in 2015. Who should lead the rushing attack though?

One option is second-year pro Devonta Freeman. Freeman is coming off the back of a quiet rookie campaign in Atlanta, only carrying the football 65 times. He rushed for 248 yards and a touchdown, and also added 225 yards and a score from his 30 receptions.

He might finally get a chance to show what he can do in the NFL. In three years at Florida State, Freeman rushed 404 times for 2,255 yards and 30 touchdowns.
