FLOWERY BRANCH — The Atlanta Falcons hope Florida State's Devonta Freeman can help revive the NFL's worst rushing attack. And they believe that four linebackers bring depth to a position that's been hurt by injuries to Sean Weatherspoon the last two years. Atlanta drafted Freeman with the third pick of the fourth round of the NFL draft on Saturday, picking up some insurance behind starter Steven Jackson and primary backup Jacquizz Rodgers.
