Bijan Robinson Earns First Pro Bowl Selection, Replacing Saquon Barkley

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games roster, stepping in for Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. This marks the first Pro Bowl selection of Robinson’s career, a testament to his standout performance during the 2024 season.

In just his second NFL season, Robinson established himself as one of the league’s premier running backs. He recorded a career-high 304 rushes for 1,456 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, along with 61 receptions for 431 yards and one touchdown. Robinson’s impressive production earned him third place in the NFL in rushing yards, fourth in scrimmage yards, and sixth in touchdowns among running backs.

A model of consistency, the Tucson, Ariz., native surpassed 100 scrimmage yards in 12 games, second only to Barkley, who had 13 such games. Robinson was the only player in the NFL to rush for multiple touchdowns in three consecutive games (Weeks 16-18). He ended the season on a high note, compiling a streak of six consecutive games with 90+ rushing yards, the longest-active streak in the league. His season culminated with a career-best performance in Week 18, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns.
