Bijan Robinson Favored To Win Offensive Rookie Of The Year
1 year agoAtlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was selected No. 8 overall in an era where the position is being devalued. That said, the expectation is that he will handle a monster workload as soon as his rookie campaign begins, and he's the betting odds favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Atlanta posted the second-highest run rate in the NFL last season (55.29%) and has limited pass-catching options outside of Kyle Pitts and Drake London. Robinson should operate as a high-volume rusher and the team's No. 3 target in the passing attack. As Desmond Ridder gets more comfortable as a starter, he'll likely rely on Robinson in the short to intermediate passing game often. Ultimately, the former Texas running back is expected to be one of the best ball carriers and receiving backs in the league from day one.
