FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Everyone knows the Falcons possess one of the NFL’s best running back duos right now in Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman.
But one player who is competing for the No. 3 spot on the running back depth chart is rookie Bryan Hill, a 6-foot-1, 219-pound do-it-all workhouse out of Wyoming. Hill could end up making an immediate impact on special teams and eventually provide the Falcons’ offense with a change-of-pace back because of his more physical, straight-ahead running style. Hill ran for 4,287 yards and 35 touchdowns in three years at Wyoming.
