Best Case
Snelling could find a niche as the short-yardage, goal-line back for the Falcons this year. If the offensive line is significantly improved, that could spell several rushing TDs for Snelling in a part-time role.
Worst Case
Snelling could sit on the bench and hand out Gatorade all year long while watching Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood tote the rock.
Outlook
Snelling is a marginal candidate for a reserve roster spot in TD-only scoring systems if he appears set for goal-line duty during the regular season.
