The Atlanta Falcons under Kyle Shanahan and later Dirk Koetter utilized a primarily outside zone running scheme, characterized by one-cut backs, play-action, misdirection, and emphasis on offensive line athleticism and tight end versatility.
Immediate contributor in a rotational backfield, offering a reliable receiving option and a change of pace; projects to be a co-starter given his versatility.
A traditional Power Run scheme that emphasizes running between the tackles into stacked boxes would not maximize his playmaking ability.
Freeman's agility and receiving prowess are perfectly suited for a modern, zone-based scheme where his vision and quick cuts can be fully exploited.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
