Tevin Coleman has had the most interesting season of them all. Coleman had a solid preseason and won the starting job because of a hamstring injury to Devonta Freeman and had two good games, but lost his starting job from that point on.
Coleman left the Falcons’ week 2 win over the New York Giants with a rib injury and the rest is history. Freeman came in and went on a tear of a lifetime and regained the starting job over Coleman.
Coleman has been healthy now for a month, but hasn’t gotten a lot of playing time. So, looking back on the draft pick, should we really of drafted him? If the Falcons had of known what Freeman was going to do then there is no way on earth that the Falcons would have drafted him.
However, riddle me this. If Coleman hadn’t of gotten hurt, could it be him who we are all raving over for an amazing start to the season while Freeman sits on the bench? Or would he not of done what Freeman did? Who knows.
