The Atlanta Falcons drafted Texas RB Bijan Robinson #8 overall in Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft. Bijan was the best player in the draft according to many, and despite being a RB, the Falcons felt he was valuable enough to be drafted in the top 10.
Steve Sarkisian is the Head Coach of the Texas Longhorns and joined Andy and Randy on Friday to talk about Bijan Robinson joining the Atlanta Falcons and what Falcons fans can expect from their newest offensive weapon.
"I think he's a combination of a few guys," says Steve Sarkisian. "I do think he has some of the short-area quickness and contact balance of Saquon Barkley., but also in the Barry Sanders mode of low center of gravity and the spin moves, but also Reggie Bush, there's a receiving element that is very similar."
Bijan Robinson will join an offense that already has Tyler Allgeier coming off a 1,000 yard rushing season, top 10 offensive weapons in Kyle Pitts and Drake London, and Desmond Ridder entering his first full season as a starting QB
