NFL Draft: Texas RB Bijan Robinson earns high praise from Joel Klatt

“I think he’s very much in the same vein as Christian McCaffrey.”

Texas running back Bijan Robinson is expected off the board in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Fox Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt believes Robinson is one of the top prospects in this year’s draft. Klatt ranks him as the No. 3 player on his big board.

Robinson’s game has been compared to many NFL greats such as Barry Sanders and Saquon Barkley, but Klatt feels Christian McCaffrey is more accurate.

“Robinson is quite simply the most dynamic and best non-quarterback offensive player in the draft. That’s the best way I could put it. Whoever drafts him is going to get a dynamic, game-changing athlete. I think he’s very much in the same vein as Christian McCaffrey.”

Round one of the 2023 NFL Draft will kick off on Thursday, April 27 in Kansas City. Most projections have Robinson going anywhere from pick No. 10 thru No. 31.
