The Atlanta Falcons back has received the recognition he deserves.
The Atlanta Falcons are headed into the regular season with the hope of turning things around under a new head coach in Kevin Stefanski. After a decade of losing, Stefanski has the goal of taking this team back to the playoffs and doing it quickly.
One of the biggest reasons he took the job was a ready-made roster which is good enough to win right away, and of all the stars on it, there's none bigger than running back Bijan Robinson. Despite the failures and shortcomings of Raheem Morris, he did a much better job than his predecessor of getting Robinson involved and the former first rounder has exploded as a superstar in this league.
While Stefanski will be charged with taking Robinson to the next level, what he did in 2025 under Morris has been recognized by his peers as one of the best players in all of football. Every year, players across the league vote in the NFL's Top-100 Players List, and Robinson has reached new heights in this year's edition.
Robinson Voted Top-Three Overall Player in Football
Robinson came in at No. 3 overall, becoming the second Falcons player on the list after London was named No. 66 earlier in the summer. Robinson has already been recognized by the fanbase as a legitimate star, but to receive this kind of praise from the players he is going up against each and every week, that feels extremely significant.
2025 was the best season of Robinson's career, but after signing a huge extension this offseason, he would be the first to tell you he still has a whole lot of work to do in order to get where he really wants to be.
When Atlanta took him in the first round, they were criticized in a time where running backs have been less valued across the league than ever. Though the team has not had the success it has wanted in the last three years, Robinson has carried the offense on his back and proven to be much more than your run of the mill tailback.
He is a difference maker and someone an offense can build around. This year is going to be no different, and if Stefanski can unlock even more in Robinson during his fourth season in the league, it would be a shock to no one to see him land even higher on next year's list.
