Atlanta Falcons rookie Bijan Robinson will wear No.7 in the NFL to follow in the footsteps of iconic and controversial quarterback Michael Vick.
Robinson was selected by the Falcons with the eighth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The running back enjoyed a dominant spell at Texas and was highly regarded heading into last week’s draft.
Robinson wore No.5 at Texas, but that number is already assigned in Atlanta to receiver Drake London. As a result, Robinson has taken No.7, which was previously worn by kicker Younghoe Koo. Koo will switch to a new number, although all single digits on the Falcons are taken.
