Bijan Robinson is just different, OK?
You don’t accumulate over 270 yards from scrimmage in your first two NFL games if you’re not a cut above everyone else. It’s still so, so early, but it’s obvious Robinson is already one of the best running backs on the planet. And the Atlanta Falcons are very invested in letting us know about that reality.
On Wednesday, the Falcons’ social media team released a video that features a cool top-down angle of one of Robinson’s ridiculous runs against the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. (Note: Robinson enjoyed his first career 100-yard rushing performance and added another four catches for 48 yards).
It puts Robinson’s elusiveness and capacity for electric play in a better context. That context? He’s just better at football than most normal football players.

The Falcons are 2-0 and looking like a sleeper NFC contender. If they’re going to continue resembling a formidable force, it’ll undoubtedly come off Robinson’s efforts. That’s not a bad plan for a winning team. Not even close.
