It’s safe to consider Friday’s announcement a formality of a decision that was made long ago. Robinson is off to a stellar start in Atlanta.
Selected No. 8 overall out of Texas in the 2023 NFL Draft, Robinson has already collected numerous honors, including multiple Pro Bowls and All-Pro recognition, as a Falcon. In 51 games, Robinson has over 5,500 yards of total offense and 34 career touchdowns.
Robinson was named to the PFWA’s All-Rookie Team in 2023. He rushed 214 times for 976 yards and 4 touchdowns in his debut season, adding 58 catches for 487 yards and 4 scores.
In 2024, Robinson upped his rushing touchdown mark to 14, a career-high. He logged 304 carries, the most in his 3-year career, for 1,456 yards. He continued to be used in the passing game, as well, adding 61 catches for 431 yards and 1 TD.
Last season was a career year in many ways for Robinson. He posted career highs in rushing yards (1,478), yards per carry (5.1), receptions (79) and receiving yards (820). The banner year earned Robinson his first All-Pro selection.
