The Atlanta Falcons are officially sending a third player to the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games. Bijan Robinson will join teammates Chris Lindstrom and KhaDarel Hodge this weekend in Orlando, Florida.
The second-year running back will replace Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, who led the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards this season. The Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders on Sunday and will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Robinson finished third in rushing this season with 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns on 304 carries (4.8 yards per attempt). The former No. 8 overall pick established himself as one of the best dual-threat backs in the NFL.
Aside from a career-high in rushing yards, Robinson added 61 receptions for 431 receiving yards and one touchdown. The 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games begin on Thursday, January 30, and run through Sunday, February 2.

The Falcons introduced Jeff Ulbrich as defensive coordinator on Monday morning. Ulbrich, who spent the last four seasons with the New York Jets, returns to Atlanta where he coached from 2015 to 2020.
“Although my core principles are the same in many ways, my football brain is in a completely different place,” said Ulbrich. “I’m really excited for Raheem and myself.”
