Brian Hill Receives Original-Round Tender
5 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons gave restricted free-agent running back Brian Hill an original-round tender on Tuesday after he was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 draft. The team would receive a fifth-round pick as compensation if Hill were to sign with another team during free agency. The 24-year-old stepped in as the primary back last season with both Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith injured and finished with 109 carries for 517 yards and two rushing touchdowns. With Freeman already released, Hill figures to compete with Smith and Qadree Ollison for touches in Atlanta's backfield, although the Falcons could beef up the position through free agency or the draft.
