The Atlanta Falcons used the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft on explosive running back Bijan Robinson. The former Texas star racked up over 1,400 all-purpose yards and eight total touchdowns in his rookie campaign.
Despite Atlanta’s disappointing season, Robinson was selected as one of five finalists for the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was selected as the winner at Thursday night’s NFL Honors ceremony.
After leading Houston to the playoffs, Stroud’s win wasn’t much of a surprise. Robinson finished fifth in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting. Check out the total votes for all five finalists below.
