Coleman, who will join former teammate Adam Replogle in Atlanta, is the highest IU running back drafted since Vaughn Dunbar went 21st overall to the New Orleans Saints in 1992. He is the fourth Indiana player picked by the Falcons and the first since DE Nathan Davis in 1997.
This marks the second straight year a Hoosier went on the second day of the draft - Cody Latimer, Denver Broncos, second round (56th pick) in 2014.
Coleman became the program's third unanimous consensus All-American in 2014, joining Anthony Thompson - 1989 and Vaughn Dunbar - 1991.
