3. Devonta Freeman & Tevin Coleman

While I can’t predict the future, I will say there’s a great chance this is the last season Tevin Coleman suits up for the Atlanta Falcons. He’s become one of the more talented running backs in the league, which is why it’s going to be extremely hard to the Dirty Birds to sign him again after the 2018-2019 season.

Still, even though this may be Coleman’s ‘swan song’ with Atlanta, I believe he and fellow teammate, Devonta Freeman, will be two X-factors in the Falcons quest for their first Lombardi Trophy.

As we all know, being able to run the football means everything in January and February. Not to mention, when you have multiple guys who can also catch the football out of the backfield, it makes the offense that much harder to defend.

If the Falcons can climb back into the NFC Playoffs for the third-straight season, Coleman and Freeman will do everything in their power to make sure their teammates are playing in February.

Plus, with Steve Sarkisian entering his second, full season as offensive coordinator for Atlanta, we can expect to see a major jump in production from Freeman and Coleman in 2018.
