Bijan Robinson entered the NFL as one of the most highly-touted running backs in recent memory.
He was an elite rusher in college and has been compared to the likes of Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey in his early days as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.
Robinson appeared on “Good Morning Football,” where he was asked about his rushing style.
According to Kyle Brandt, Robinson described it as “respectfully and humbly destroying whoever is in front of me.”

Robinson has put this style on full display so far this season, providing several highlight plays throughout his rookie campaign.
He continues to show the rest of the NFL that the Falcons drafting him was not a mistake and that it was a great decision to help continue to grow their offense.
With the addition of Robinson this year, this marks the third-straight draft where the Falcons have used significant draft capital to select a skill-position player.
They took Kyle Pitts in 2020, and Drake London in 2021.
It seems that they are stockpiling offensive assets to help build the best possible team.
While this hasn’t necessarily resulted in significant playoff success yet, with Robinson’s explosive rookie campaign in mind, it’s only a matter of time before things start to click for this team.
With the Falcons currently holding a record of 5-6, if current trends continue, they should find themselves near the middle of the pack when it comes to the 2024 NFL Draft.
It will be interesting to see if they look to add a quarterback to bring things together, or how the organization decides to tackle the next year.
