Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier is primed for a strong 2024.
"Couldn't wait, man," Allgeier said after the session. "Get the physicality rolling. Really, truly get back at it."
Allgeier, who had 210 carries as a rookie, saw 186 in his second campaign, finishing the year with 683 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. His efficiency also dropped, going from 4.9 yards per carry in 2022 to 3.7 in 2023.a 75-yard touchdownBut the Falcons' new coaching staff wants more. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson and company have instructed Allgeier to grow in the passing game, from catching and running routes to blocking.
Under head coach Raheem Morris, the Falcons have stressed role clarity, which is the process of defining the responsibilities and expectations for each player. Pitre has established that in the running backs room, and Zac Robinson did the same publicly at camp -- in positive fashion for Allgeier. Washington and Robinson are heavy television-watchers. Allgeier is a gamer, playing Rainbow Six Siege. The environment, Allgeier said, is a fun one.
Atlanta's running backs room also includes sixth-round rookie Jase McClellan and 2023 undrafted free agent Robert Burns, who spent last season on the Chicago Bears' practice squad. "Really learning how to be a pro," Allgeier said about where he's grown the most. "Learning what my body needs, eating habits, doing what on the field, off the field -- it's been good."
