Bijan
Robinson

Bijan defies physics with his array of moves, starting and stopping on a dime and juking defenders with contortions straight out of The Matrix. It helped Robinson finish third in the NFL in rushing in 2024 with 1,456 yards, trailing only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry. That was the best total by an Atlanta tailback since Michael Turner in 2008.

Yards, no matter how they come, are valuable. Robinson was a first-round pick because he could produce on the ground and through the air, as his first years in the NFL showed. As a rookie, he ranked 10th in the league in yards from scrimmage, and in his second year in 2024, he was fourth.

When Bijan cut back and broke free on a 29-yard run against the Cardinals in Week 16 of the 2023 campaign, he moved past 2,000 scrimmage yards on the season, becoming the only player in franchise history to reach the milestone.

The Falcons' success in 2025 hinges on how fast some brightly talented young players get it all together. One thing they knew going in: Robinson is all the way there. After finishing 10th in yards from scrimmage in his rookie campaign of 2023, the dazzling RB rose all the way to fourth in 2024 with 1,887.

The Falcons are loaded with young skill-position talent. Of that group, Robinson's star has shined the brightest. In just two years, he has emerged as one of the most exciting backs in the league. While making would-be tacklers miss left and right, he finished third in rushing yards in 2024 with 1,456 on 304 carries.

Like a heaping helping of their star running back's signature mustard, Atlanta spread Robinson on thick over their playbook in 2024. The second-year stud responded with one tangy performance after the next, racking up 1,887 all-purpose yards and 15 delicious touchdowns.

The Falcons have the right idea — put a hat on and let Robinson miss one defender. "The big-play means good things," That's what we've been working on all offseason." The big-play producer said as he enters his Year 3 in 2025. "Just seeing that one free hitter and making moves off him." Then saying goodbye.

Bijan played an all-time epic game on October 13, 2025. He boosted the Falcons to a 24-14 win over the Bills by totaling 238 yards, including an 81-yard rushing touchdown. While piling up 170 ground yards, Robinson averaged 9.5 yards per touch.

Bijan was a ball-carrier athlete unlike none the offensive game had ever seen. Showing off his explosiveness on the ground and via the air, his 16 total touchdowns ranked seventh in the league.

Robinson's first multi-touchdown game looked how many might have expected it to go. When Atlanta took on New Orleans in Week 12 of 2023, the No. 8 overall pick did it all on offense. He totaled 123 yards from scrimmage while finding the end zone as a runner and as a receiver in the 24-15 victory.

Robinson and Detroit's Jahmyr Gibbs were the only running backs among the five finalists for 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Atlanta's rising star made the cut after making hundreds of cuts, jukes and spins while piling up nearly 1,500 yards from scrimmage and averaging 5.4 yards per touch.
