Tevin Coleman Takes Advantage Of Opportunity To Shine In Falcons Preseason Finale [VIDEO]

One of the many problems the Atlanta Falcons had in 2014 was the lack of a running game. So wwhen opportunity arose in the draft they picked someone they figured could help--Indiana running back Tevin Coleman. The speedster rushed for over 2000 yards and scored 15 touchdowns for the Hoosiers. A lot of guys shine in college. Can he shine in the NFL?

Due to injuries the team didn't really get a good look at him in action until Thursday night's preseason finale. With 56 yards on eight carries he certainly did a good job, but more important than the yardage was how he gained it.
