Devonta Freeman Could Be Ready For OTAs

Tuesday, February 6, 12:15 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) said he's doing well after dealing with MCL and PCL injuries at the end of the season. He recently received a second opinion on his knee, and he isn't expected to need surgery before the start of the next season. Freeman thinks there's a chance he'll be ready for the start of the offseason program, too. "But I'm going to take my time and let it heal so I won't have to deal with little knicks and knacks throughout the season, because that's the most important time for me. So I'm going to take my time and let it heal, get stronger. I need to be free when I'm out there," Freeman said. Expect the Falcons to play it cautious with their starting running back during organized team activities. Barring any setbacks, Freeman should once again be an RB1 in 2018, even with Tevin Coleman splitting repetitions.

Devonta Freeman Biography

Childhood and High school

Devonta Freeman was born March 15, 1992 in Baxley Georgia. Freeman attributes his drive to being the oldest of seven children and the man of the house at age 12. He grew up in the projects of Miami's Liberty City and attended Miami Central High School in West Little River, Florida. There, he led his school to a championship in the 6A state title game, gaining 308 yards on 36 carries and amassing an impressive highlight reel. Freeman was a consensus 4 star running back, the 10th highest rated in the class, and ranked 108th overall by Rivals.com.

NFL Draft
