Devonta Freeman of the Atlanta Falcons has broken out in a big way in 2015, and has earned himself a Pro Bowl bid thanks to the stellar season he's put together. His powerful running style and ability to catch passes out of the backfield can't be overlooked. One player specifically who's happy that Freeman is on his team instead of playing against him, is Jake Matthews.

Via the Atlanta Falcons' official Instagram:

Freeman has not only earned a ton of respect this season, but he's put himself on the map as one of the strongest runners in the NFL as well. It'll be interesting to see how he can finish up the 2015 season, but one thing that's certain is that he's headed to Hawaii.
