The Falcons secured some depth at the running back position on Saturday when running back Brian Hill signed his original-round tender to remain with the team in 2020.
Hill, a former fifth-round selection back in 2017, rushed for 323 yards and two touchdowns last year, while adding 10 catches for 69 yards and one touchdown reception.
For his career, the 24-year-old has totaled 517 rushing yards on 4.7 yards per carry. With Devonta Freeman essentially being replaced by Todd Gurley in free agency, Hill’s role should remain about the same.
That could change, however, if Atlanta chooses to add another back in the upcoming NFL draft.
