The Atlanta Falcons ended their season on a disappointing note, losing two straight games and missing the playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. It wasn’t all bad, though, and the team’s future appears bright with its trio of stars on offense.
Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. played well during his three starts while running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London recorded the first 1,000-yard seasons of their careers. Robinson was the biggest breakout star of the bunch.
The second-year running back finished third in rushing with 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns. Robinson was chosen to replace Eagles running back Saquon Barkley at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. Barkley could not attend due to his team making the Super Bowl.
Robinson was happy to fill in and was mic’d up for his weekend at the Pro Bowl. Watch below, as shared by the team’s social media account:

Over his first two NFL seasons, Robinson has rushed for 2,432 yards and 18 touchdowns, adding 119 catches for 918 receiving yards and another five scores through the air.
