2015 Atlanta Falcons Potential Draft Pick Profile: RB Melvin Gordon

April 4, 2015   ·   Scott Carasik   ·   Jump to comments

The Atlanta Falcons have Devonta Freeman as the current starter on their depth chart for running back. If the Falcons were to take a running back early in the draft, Melvin Gordon is almost as good of a pick as Todd Gurley would be. He's a true zone-scheme back who makes his living off of his excellent vision.
The Falcons are moving to a zone scheme with new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and should be a great scheme fit for the talented Wisconsin running back. Shanahan would love how Gordon is built and would love his similarities to another back his dad coached named Terrell Davis.
