- Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that running back Devonta Freeman could return soon. Freeman has been in the concussion protocol and is already ruled out for the team’s second preseason game.
- Last season, Freeman’s overall grade of 83.3 (a career high) ranked eighth out of 61 qualified running backs, just besting his 2015 grade of 80.1.
- In 2016, Freeman’s breakaway percent of 37.5 ranked eighth out of 53 qualified running backs, and he forced 34 missed tackles on 227 rushes, which was tied for 13th.
- From Week 9 on (including the playoffs), Freeman was ninth out of 41 qualified running backs in elusive rating (uses missed tackle rate and yards gained after contact to measure a runner’s success beyond the point of being helped by his blockers) at 50.4.
