Falcons Don't Have Buyer's Remorse With Bijan Robinson
1 year agoAtlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson, who was the eighth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, has been exactly as the Falcons anticipated this offseason. They have also shown they'll use him as a running back and receiver all over the formation. "We do not have buyer's remorse, if that's what you're asking," head coach Arthur Smith said when asked whether the traits they saw in Robinson have translated to the NFL so far. The 21-year-old will have lofty expectations placed on him right away after being the highest RB selection since Saquon Barkley went fifth overall to the Giants in 2018. Because he's expected to be a three-down workhorse for Atlanta right out of the gates, Robinson is being drafted in the first round of mock drafts as a top-five fantasy back before even touching the field in the NFL.
