Just about any type of NFL ranking is subjective, but there really isn't any denying that Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is not only among the best offensive players in the NFL, but one of the best players in the league, regardless of position.
While the Falcons haven't quite taken advantage of just how exceptional Robinson is, that doesn't take away from the dominance he's brought to the position across his three full seasons in the NFL. With Robinson seemingly getting better each year, his 2026 season could be even more productive that what we saw in 2025.
Robinson is also very highly thought of by his peers, as his placement in the NFL Top 100 Players list for the 2026 season is further confirmation of just how good he truly is and could continue to be.

Robinson is only set to enter his age-24 season in the NFL and has been a two-time Pro Bowler and a first-team All-Pro. He's not missed a game and has started all but one game. In 2025, Robinson ran for 1,478 yards on a stellar 5.1 yards per carry. He also added 79 receptions for 820 yards and four touchdowns, which is what some teams would love to get from their WR2.
In total, Robinson had 2,298 scrimmage yards, which ranked first in the NFL, and he also finished with 11 total touchdowns. Through three seasons, he already has 5,648 scrimmage yards and 34 touchdowns. His current 17-game pace puts him at 1,883 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns per season.
While it's early, Robinson is on a Hall of Fame pace thus far. Last year, he came in at No. 62 on the list, so he moved up a whopping 59 spots, which is an insane ascension. Robinson will end up coming behind Josh Allen and Myles Garrett to round-out the 100 best players in the league.
For the 2026 season, the Falcons overall uncertainty at the quarterback position could actually allow Robinson to be even more prolific, as he'll be relied on more and more to keep the offense from bottoming-out.
In an ideal world, though, Robinson continues to be the engine that makes the offense go, and the Falcons see one of Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr emerge as, at least an average option. Robinson really doesn't have a weakness in his game and is honestly a generational talent at the position.
He's also only just now entering his mid-20s, so this type of production we saw in 2025 could genuinely continue for the next 3-5 seasons.
