Falcons RB Devonta Freeman will be 'a factor for sure'

Falcons' second-year running back Devonta Freeman has pulled away from Tevin Coleman in the battle for the starting job in Atlanta. Not only has Freeman been better on the ground, he's been outstanding in the passing game as well. Head coach Dan Quinn has been extremely impressed. "I knew Devonta had terrific hands, but I probably didn't appreciate the good route-running ability coming out of Florida State and the development he made with (former running backs coach) Gerald (Brown) and the guys here last year. He can really run routes," Quinn said. "He's going to be a guy we're going to feature in a lot of different ways.
