Atlanta Falcons: Three best RB’s to pair with Mike Davis
By Joe Beasley
The Atlanta Falcons brought in Mike Davis this offseason to add depth to the running back positions. It’s not out of the question that Davis could be the feature back for the Falcons.
The Atlanta Falcons could opt to give Davis the feature back roll or go with a two-running back system. If they decide to go with the two running backs, they don’t have to settle for another running back that’s already on the roster.
If you look back at some of the past Super Bowl champions, the two back system has favored well. The Tampa Bay Bucs had Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones. The Patriots had a platoon of running backs they could throw at you.
Their Super Bowl-winning run game consisted of James White, Sony Michel, and Rex Burkhead. The Eagles had the duo of Jay Ajayi and LeGarrette Blount.
The Atlanta Falcons could draft a running back to pair with Davis.
Let’s not forget the primary back thing hasn’t worked for the Falcons in a long time. Maybe it’s time they switch that up. The last time the Atlanta Falcons had a one-two punch at running back was when they had the dynamic Warrick Dunn and the bulldozer known as TJ Duckett.
Davis works well as an in-between-the-tackles type of running back, so the Falcons would have to draft a running back to compliment him. There are plenty of choices for the Falcons in this draft and they won’t cost the Falcons an early-round draft pick.
