RB Devonta Freeman
With Steven Jackson nearing the end of his career, another injury in 2014 isn’t completely ludicrous. Luckily, Devonta Freeman has all of the skills to be a feature back for the Falcons offense.
Coach Smith also talked about @V8Freeman developing into a three-down back as long as blocking is part of the equation.

Freeman will most likely beat out Jacquizz Rodgers for the 2nd string spot, and will more than likely see a large amount of snaps to keep Jackson fresh for December, and possibly January and February.
