Bijan Robinson shines despite Falcons’ struggles
The Atlanta Falcons may be sitting at 6-9 and out of the playoff race, but one of their offensive stars is making headlines for all the right reasons. Running back Bijan Robinson has emerged as a standout performer this season, with statistics that not only highlight his individual talent but also position him as a top contender for Pro Bowl recognition.
Record-breaking stats
Robinson is the only player in the NFL to surpass the remarkable milestone of 2,000 yards from scrimmage, amassing an impressive total of 2,026 yards. His ability to consistently deliver in high-pressure situations has been nothing short of extraordinary. He leads the league with six games featuring 150 or more yards from scrimmage—a feat unmatched by any other player, as the next closest competitors have managed just four such games.
Dual-threat capability
What truly sets Robinson apart is his versatility. He stands alone as the only player in the league to register both over 1,000 rushing yards—1,250 to be exact—and more than 500 receiving yards, totaling 776. This dual-threat capability not only showcases his prowess as a running back but also his ability to make impactful contributions in the passing game.
Robinson’s exceptional season is a bright spot for the Falcons, providing fans with moments of brilliance amid a challenging year. As the team looks to regroup for next season, Robinson’s record-breaking performance will undoubtedly remain a focal point in discussions about the future of the franchise.
