There’s a lot to like about the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> as they prepare to report for training camp on July 23. While the team has some major question marks on defense, the Falcons<\/a> offense is loaded. Michael Penix Jr<\/a>. will take over at quarterback after a promising finish to the 2024 season, and there are plenty of pieces around him.<\/p>\n

Not only does Penix have a true No. 1 wide receiver in Drake London<\/a>, but Atlanta’s offensive line is one of the better units in the NFL. Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud each present a threat of their own, however, running back Bijan Robinson<\/a> is the straw that stirs the drink.<\/p>\n

The versatile playmaker finished third in the NFL with 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns last season. Plus, Robinson is a proven threat catching the ball out of the backfield (119 catches for 918 receiving yards in two NFL seasons).<\/p>\n

The former No. 8 overall draft pick was one of two running backs to make NFL.com’s “All-Under-25 Team<\/a>” for the 2025 season, along Jahmyr Gibbs of the Lions<\/a>:<\/p>\n

While many kept their focus on Kirk Cousins in Atlanta last season, Robinson turned in an excellent campaign. He cleared his rookie total in rushing yards by nearly 500, finishing with 1,456 and 14 rushing scores. He also chipped in 61 catches for 431 yards and one touchdown and, most importantly, proved his first-round selection was not a reach. <\/p>\n

Since Robinson entered the NFL in 2023, he has forced 161 missed tackles on runs, more than anyone but Derrick Henry. Last season, Robinson led all players with 200-plus carries in rushing success rate, nearly cracking 50 percent, per Next Gen Stats, despite being a second-year pro in an offense led by a limited QB whose strengths as a signal-caller weren’t maximized by the scheme anyway. Robinson has undoubtedly met the expectations that followed him into the league. — Nick Shook, NFL.com<\/a><\/p>\n

In many ways, the 2024 season was the year of the running back. Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry both produced MVP-caliber seasons, but that award is generally reserved for the NFL’s top quarterback (even though Josh Allen won the award over Lamar Jackson last year).<\/p>\n

Robinson’s all-around skill set is what makes him so tough to stop. Trying to bring the third-year back down in the open field has proven difficult for even the surest of tacklers. Don’t be surprised if Robinson tops 2,000 all-purpose yards in 2025.<\/p>\n
