“I definitely got to watch them play, man,” Coleman said about Robinson and Allgeier. “I like how they play. They trying to say they was like me and [Devonta] Freeman back in 2016, the two-head monster. So I like seeing that. I like seeing two backs going in there and going crazy. It’s real fun to watch. Robinson, he’s nice, he’s shifty. I like how he’s shifty with the ball. And then Allgeier, he just a bowling ball. …He going to run you over. So I like that.”
Though 11 games, Bijan Robinson has rushed for 783 and six touchdowns, and Allgeier has rushed for 429 yards and two scores. Both players are averaging over 4.5 yards per carry and are a big reason the Falcons are in first place in the NFC South.
Tevin Coleman played for the Falcons from 2015 to 2018 and had his best season in 2016 when the Falcons reached the Super Bowl. During the 2016 season, Coleman rushed for 520 yards and eight touchdowns while also tallying 421 recieving yards and three TD receptions. He was the backup running back for Devonta Freeman who rushed for 1,079 yards and 11 toucdhowns while also posting 462 receiving yards and two TD catches.
Tevin Coleman says Matt Ryan should be in Pro Football Hall of Fame
The 2016 Falcons were led by quarterback Matt Ryan who was named Offensive Player of the Year and MVP. Ryan recently announced his retirement from football, and Coleman beleives he should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“I love Matt Ryan, and he’s an amazing quarterback,” Coleman stated. “He was amazing when I was there, and he definitely taught me a lot. So I definitely see him being in the Hall of Fame because what he had did in the league and the type of person he is.”
