Devonta Freeman was a BCS National Champion at Florida State and was Atlanta's Fourth Round Pick in the 2014 NFL draft. He played off the bench during his rookie season. In his second season, Freeman led the NFL in Touchdowns (14) and Rushing Touchdowns (11), accumulating 1,642 Yards From Scrimmage. This remarkable performance earned him his first Pro Bowl and a Second Team All-Pro honors. It seemed like the Falcons had a talented player on their hands.

Freeman was named to the Pro Bowl again in 2016 after amassing 1,541 Yards From Scrimmage and 13 TD. However, he failed to reach 1,000 Rushing Yards during the 2017 season, and due to a pile of injuries, he only played two games. Freeman was never the same again after his injuries, and the Falcons released him after the 2018 season. He played for two more years, one with the New York Giants and one with the Baltimore Ravens.

Freeman's career statistics include 50 Touchdowns with 6,993 Yards From Scrimmage.
