The Falcons of Atlanta need to be filled on both sides of the ball in the off-season, and that’s ahead of the potential victims of the hood. One position where the team can use an addition of depth and talent is to run back.
Ito Smith and Qadree Ollison will be back in 2021, but Todd Gurley and Brian Hill are unlimited free agents. The concept is probably the best option for the Falcons to upgrade when they run back, but as GM Terry Fontenot said when he was appointed, the team will explore all possibilities to find talent.
Here are 12 backs that Atlanta can follow in free agencies.
