The Facts:
The Falcons drafted Freeman in the fourth round with thoughts of grooming him as the three-down back of the future. If he looks as good in pads as he did in shorts, Steven Jackson might have a battle on his hands.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure stressed, Jackson clearly opens camp as the starter. But he turns 31 next month and probably has one good season left in him -- but if he is slowed by nagging injuries, the Falcons will turn to someone else. And that somebody could be Freeman, who the Falcons have compared to Ahmad Bradshaw. McClure added the battle for the third running back spot, with Jacquizz Rodgers and Antone Smith in the mix, will be interesting too.
