Bijan Robinson’s First NFL Touchdown Was Absolutely Beautiful

Bijan Robinson NFL Falcons

Bijan Robinson has generated a great deal of hype since the Falcons selected him at No. 8 in this year’s draft.

On Sunday, it didn’t take long for the rookie running back to make an impact in his first regular season NFL game. On the first play of the second quarter, Robinson fielded a pass from quarterback Desmond Ridder in the flat and showcased his dynamic playmaking.

On third down from the Panthers’ 11, Robinson eluded a tackler and bulldozed his way through two Carolina defenders for his first NFL touchdown, giving the Falcons a 7-0 lead. 

Check this out: 

When Atlanta selected the former Texas standout with its first pick in the NFL draft, the franchise made him the highest running back drafted since 2018 whene the Giants selected Saquon Barkley.

Judging by Robinson’s first score, his future in the league is bright and fans can expect a lot more dazzling plays from the rookie running back this season.
