"As highly-regarded as he was as a prospect, the thought process behind selecting a running back with a top ten pick in 2023 seemed farcical, especially for a team with a running back who had just broken the franchise rookie rushing yardage record. Much like many of Terry Fontenot's high-profile draft decisions, he didn't let outside skepticism affect his vision. Robinson was going to be at the nucleus of the Falcons' success."
"Although expectations weren't met in 2023 and 2024, their most notable wins came with the prolific running back at the forefront of their offensive attack. That recipe hasn't just continued in 2025. It has been greatly amplified, as Robnson has 168 total yards or more in Atlanta's three wins. Those victories have all come against playoff teams from last season. He has been sensational since the third offensive play of the season, where he turned a checkdown into a 50-yard touchdown against Tampa Bay."
"Any questioning of the decision to draft Robinson has left the room after seeing him take his game to another level following a terrific 2024 season. He currently leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 822 yards, despite the team already having a bye week. A once-rising star is transforming into a must-see superstar who gives the Falcons the platform to beat anyone with his skill set and determination."
Bijan Robinson has become the focal point of the Atlanta Falcons' offense and a decisive factor in their 2025 success. Early skepticism over drafting a running back top ten in 2023 eroded as Robinson produced standout performances and franchise-changing plays. He posted 168 or more total yards in each of Atlanta's three wins, all versus last season's playoff teams, and turned a checkdown into a 50-yard touchdown on the third offensive play of the season. Robinson leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 822 yards despite the team already having a bye week.
