ATL Standard

Bijan Robinson's confidence has been a driving force for the Atlanta Falcons this season. The running back has consistently delivered strong performances, notably in the last four games where he achieved at least 90 rushing yards and over 100 scrimmage yards each time. In a recent game against the New York Giants, Robinson accumulated 103 total yards and scored two touchdowns, marking his third multi-touchdown game of the year.

"I just have a high confidence right now in the run game and in myself and Tyler [Allgeier] and the O-Line," Robinson stated. He emphasized that understanding his role within the NFL has boosted his confidence significantly since last year.

Robinson has become central to the Falcons' offensive strategy across 15 games this season, building on an impressive rookie year. His performance is especially crucial with rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. making his first NFL start.

"You want the run game to be as explosive as possible for a guy like Mike coming in [with his] first snap," Robinson commented, highlighting their mutual support on the field.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris praised Robinson's contributions throughout the season: "Bijan has been outstanding all year, the things he's able to do — he's special." Morris compared him to Philadelphia Eagles' Saquon Barkley, who currently leads in rushing and scrimmage yards while Robinson ranks fourth and third respectively.

During a Monday night victory against Las Vegas Raiders, Robinson reached 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in a single season. Additionally, he achieved 3,000 career scrimmage yards faster than any Falcon except William Andrews.

Offensive lineman Matthew Bergon noted Robinson's growth: "Last year we were rookies... It's just coming to life, and I think it's gonna keep getting better."
