One thing the Atlanta Falcons don't need to worry about is their situation at running back, where they are as blessed as any team in the NFL going into the 2026 season.
Atlanta's run game is anchored by superstar running back Bijan Robinson, who is entering his athletic prime and seems to be getting set up for what might be an all-time great season at the position.
Heading into his fourth year in the league, Robinson has been named to NFL.com's all-under-25 team by Nick Shook.
"Robinson has piled up 4,185 scrimmage yards and 26 touchdowns, making him the epitome of a high-volume producer every team would want on its roster. He’s the NFL’s best three-down back and will remain the focus of Atlanta’s offense, especially with the arrival of new coach
Kevin Stefanski, so we should only expect more greatness in 2026."
Robinson was already posting elite numbers for former head coach Raheem Morris. Now he should benefit from a new equally run-heavy scheme under head coach Kevin Stefanski, and has the added benefit of the game's most-accomplished offensive line coach now working for the Falcons.
Bijan also has the added benefit of Atlanta not having a well-established passing attack. Neither Tua Tagovailoa nor Michael Penix have impressed the last two years, and unless that changes the Falcons may have one of the NFL's most rush-heavy offenses.
We would not be surprised if Robinson approaches Eric Dickerson's 1984 record of 2,105 yards on the ground.
