Falcons finalize contract with rookie Tevin Coleman
Tevin Coleman is expected to play a big role in the Atlanta Falcon's backfield this coming season. Now, he's an official Falcon, as he signed his rookie contract, according to Marc Sessler of NFL.com.
Coleman will pair up with second-year running back Devonta Freeman and veteran Antone Smith to form an intriguing run game to go along with the powerful passing game in Atlanta.
As Sessler pointed out, one of the first quotes by Coleman is one that should get fans pretty excited about 2015. "I'm going to come in there and I'm going to get a starting spot," Coleman told reporters after the draft, per ESPN.com. "That's what I'm going to do. Whoever is the starting back, they don't have to work. I'm coming in and working right away."
Congrats to Coleman for finalizing his deal and making it official, and here's to looking forward to what could be a very exciting season for the young running back.
