Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been named to the NFL’s Top 100 Players of 2025, securing the No. 62 spot on the list. The announcement was made by the league on Friday.
Robinson, who was drafted by the Falcons with the No. 8 overall pick in 2023, is entering his third season and has already made a significant impact. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris praised Robinson, saying, “Everything about Bijan is an art form… His ability to move, his ability to take care of his body, his ability to train, his ability to motivate, his unselfishness, humility – all of those things – his ability to give back in our community.”
In his rookie year, Robinson recorded 214 carries for 976 yards and four rushing touchdowns while also catching 58 passes for 487 yards and four receiving touchdowns. Last season saw him tallying 304 carries for 1,456 yards and scoring 14 rushing touchdowns along with snagging 61 catches for 432 yards and a receiving touchdown.
Robinson’s performance last season placed him third among all running backs in rushing yards with a total of 1,456. He ranked fourth in yards from scrimmage with a total of 1,887 and had a total of fifteen touchdowns ranking fifteenth overall.
Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson commented on Bijan’s talent: “His vision, the way he can see and feel in tight quarters is unlike anything I have ever seen.” The focus for this year is an increase in explosive plays as expressed by Bijan himself: “We’re all waiting for that Saquon type of season when it comes to explosives.”
In addition to Robinson’s recognition this year on the NFL Top 100 list are players like Chris Lindstrom at No.88; Kirk Cousins at No.81; Jessie Bates at No.74; Justin Simmons who joined after publication last year was ranked No.57.
The remaining players’ rankings will continue being announced daily via @NFL on X/Twitter.
