The Falcons do love themselves a mid-round running back. Atlanta has used the No. 152 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft on Pittsburgh running back Qadree Ollison.
Ollison was a productive rusher in college, totaling 2,859 yards and 29 touchdowns on 529 carries. He also has some experience catching the ball out of the backfield. He posted 50 catches for 375 yards and three more scores.
At 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, Ollison is considerably bigger than most of the other backs on Atlanta’s roster. He projects as the No. 3 option behind Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith.
If anyone needs to worry about this pick it’s Brian Hill, who could find Ollison taking his spot on the roster.
