Tevin Coleman

One half of the two-headed beast that has helped drive a successful Atlanta Falcons offense for years. Given the Falcons already paid De’Vonta Freeman, the odds are they will allow the other half of their 1-2 punch to hit the open market. Coleman was rarely the featured guy in Atlanta but he was always productive, showing flashes of what he could be.

He’s a bigger back at 6’1, 210 lbs with a solid power element to his game but stands out for both his above-average explosion and his ability to be a receiver out of the backfield. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry in his Falcons career and caught 92 passes in 56 games. The best part is he a native of Tinley Park, a mere 40-minute drive from Chicago. He went to high school at Oak Forest.
