The Facts: Coleman opened the 2015 season as the starting running back and got off to a promising start before suffering fractured ribs in the second game of the season. While he was out, Devonta Freeman took over the position and turned in a Pro Bowl campaign. Despite Freeman's success, the Falcons still have high hopes for Coleman, who was electrifying in the open field. However, he also had ball security and injury issues. "For him, prove you can be available," HC Dan Quinn said. "He had the hamstring issue, concussion at the end. He broke a rib. He's a grit competitor."

Diehards Line:Coleman played in 12 games and made three starts. He rushed for 392 yards on 87 carries (4.5 yards per carry) and scored one touchdown. He had just two catches for 14 yards and was credited with three fumbles. Coleman’s rookie season was cut short after he slipped in the shower and suffered a concussion, causing him to miss the final two games of the regular season. The Falcons believe that Coleman and Freeman can split the rushing load in their outside-zone rushing system. “In terms of him like running in the outside zone, seeing his reads and making his cuts, he was really on point,” Quinn said. “That’s why we are so excited because he and Free together make a pretty unique combination.” Freeman will get the third down plays because he’s such a force in the passing game. But Coleman, with his dazzling speed, can earn more time on first and second downs. It's a situation we'll all be watching closely.
