FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been named to the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2025, the league announced Friday.

Robinson made his debut on the annual list at No. 62.

The Falcons drafted Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick in 2023, so he's entering just his third season this year. And boy, has he already impressed.

"Everything about Bijan is an art form," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said this offseason. "He is the hardest person on the team to talk about. Just because he is an Atlanta Falcon, he is everything about that. 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. He's such a great player and such a great human."

As a rookie, Robinson totaled 214 carries for 976 yards and four rushing touchdowns. He also caught 58 passes for 487 yards and four receiving touchdowns.

Last season, Robinson tallied 304 carries for 1,456 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. He also snagged 61 catches for 432 yards and a receiving touchdown.

Robinson's 1,456 yards rushing ranked third among all running backs in 2024. His 1,887 yards from scrimmage ranked fourth. And his 15 total touchdowns ranked 15th.

Robinson closed out the season with six consecutive games with at least 90 rushing yards, which was the longest active streak in the NFL. He surpassed 100 yards from scrimmage in 12 games last year, which trailed only running back Saquon Barkley, who played for the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles.

"He is so talented," Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said. "His vision, the way he can see and feel in tight quarters is unlike anything I have ever seen. We just hope for that uptick with the explosives."

That’s the focus for 2025, a specific goal for Year 3.

"We all want it," Bijan Robinson said. "We're all waiting for that Saquon type of season when it comes to explosives. But I've been working on it a lot this offseason. And, obviously, when it gets to the season, it's time to go show it and go do the work the right way."

In 2024, the Falcons had four players make the NFL's Top 100 Players list. Offensive guard Chris Lindstrom was No. 88; quarterback Kirk Cousins was No. 81; Bates was No. 74; and safety Justin Simmons, who signed with the Falcons after the series was published, was No. 57.

The remaining players for 2025 will continue to be announced daily by @NFL on X/Twitter.
