The 2023 NFL season didn’t go as planned for the Atlanta Falcons, but they did find a potential star in running Bijan Robinson. The former Texas standout lived up to some pretty high expectations, racking up 1,463 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns during his rookie year.
While Robinson is expected to play a key role on Atlanta’s offense this season, he’s equally concerned with making an impact off the field. The 22-year-old was the focus of a short film released on AtlantaFalcons.com on Monday afternoon.
“The Power of Example” follows Robinson as he reflects on his rise to the NFL and the coaches who helped mold him into the person he is today. Robinson credits Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice as a major influence in his life on and off the field.
Choice instilled a message in Robinson about how the power of example matters more than the example of power. Watch the entire 30-minute short film below, as shared by the Falcons’ Twitter account:
