The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Freeman lined up with the first time at the OTA on Tuesday. He’ll have to hold off rookie Tevin Coleman in what could turn into a committee approach. “I love the competitive attitude that Devonta brings,” HC Dan Quinn said. “For me, when I talk about having the best offseason you’ve ever had, he’s one of the guys who says, ‘Coach I’m here. I’m ready.’ That shows you what kind of competitor that he is.”
Diehards Line:As AJC.com's D. Orlando Ledbetter reminded readers, Quinn has spoken highly of Freeman dating back to the combine, shortly after the release of Steven Jackson and the decision not to re-sign Jacquizz Rodgers. “I knew he had terrific hands coming out,” Quinn said. “ You saw that and now to add what he’s doing into the run game, I can’t wait to watch him work. He doesn’t back down from anything. That’s one of the things I love about Devonta the most, (he’s ready for) every challenge. ...” That'll come in handy in his competition for Coleman. Fantasy owners will want to watch this one closely before determining the value of either back.
