The Atlanta Falcons pulled the trigger on running back Bijan Robinson with the eighth overall pick on Thursday night. The Texas ball-carrier will join a loaded backfield that features Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson.
Allgeier, a fifth-round pick by the team in 2022, was the first Falcons running back to go over 1,000 rushing yards since 2016. The team will likely split carries between the three backs this season.
