Bijan Robinson outperformed the rest of the NFL in one category

Bijan Robinson was a key part of the Atlanta Falcons offense last season. Some may argue he was even a difference-maker in the outcome of several games.

Robinson set multiple franchise records, but it also goes beyond that. According to Next Gen Stats, he forced the most missed tackles (117) in the NFL last season.

The second-year running back finished the season with 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 304 carries. Robinson was also a force through the air as he reeled in 61 catches for 431 yards and one touchdown.

Only Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (2,005 yards) and Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry (1,921 yards) finished with more rushing yards than Robinson last season.

It will be interesting to watch how Robinson continues to factor in as the Falcons look to expound upon their 2024 efforts that came up just short of a postseason berth in 2025.
