It’s still early, but Bijan Robinson has to be one of the NFL’s favorites for Offensive Rookie of the Year. The 21-year-old already has over 500 all-purpose yards and has been a leading catalyst in propelling the Atlanta Falcons into the NFC South race.
It also turns out that he happens to make absurd plays look so easy and so cool every Sunday. And the Falcons really like showing off their new toy.
On Monday, after the Falcons overcame the Houston Texans in a thrilling 21-19 win, Atlanta shared yet another awesome skycam video of Robinson doing something incredible. In this case, it was his fourth-quarter touchdown catch, where he caught the ball with one hand and pinned it to his hip while seemingly making a “crossover” motion.
Once again, it makes Robinson seem like the superhero playing football:

The Falcons knew what they were getting when they selected Robinson in the top 10 of April’s draft. He’s a genuine difference-maker, a playmaker who can turn anything into a meaningful gain or explosive yardage. And it’s such a pleasure to watch him play football.
