"In a year where just about everything went comically wrong for the Falcons, taking them from would-be playoff team to out of the mix in November, the running back position was a bastion of excellence. It's a virtual certainty it was our final year with Tyler Allgeier in the mix, though blessedly Bijan Robinson will continue to be a Falcon for what we hope is many years to come."
"Let's look back at the year that was and talk outlook. He was impressive as a rookie, great in 2024, and unbelievable in 2025. All the same sputtering superlatives we used to come up with for Julio Jones apply to Bijan, and maybe then some. He's playing the game at a higher level than just about any other running back in football, with skills that defy belief at times."
"Bijan was fourth in the NFL in rushing yards, 21st in rushing touchdowns, 7th in first downs, and 11th in yards per attempt. All of that is good, but it doesn't tell the full story. He was also 7th in broken tackles and 5th in yards after contact, which speaks to his lethal jump cuts and power. But even that doesn't tell the full story, because Robinson wasn't just a great runner."
The Falcons collapsed from playoff contention to out of the mix in November while the running back position excelled. Bijan Robinson excelled in 2025, ranking fourth in rushing yards and leading scrimmage yards by nearly 200 over Christian McCaffrey. Robinson ranked highly in broken tackles, yards after contact, receptions, and receiving yards among all players, showcasing power, jump cuts, and receiving ability. Tyler Allgeier likely departed after 2025, while Bijan projects to remain a long-term cornerstone. The team will likely continue building around a strong ground game under Kevin Stefanski.
