Legendary sports writer and longtime writer for the Houston Chronicle, John McClain, told the morning shift earlier today that anybody in Atlanta that isn’t fired up about Bijan Robinson is “clueless”.
Even as a longtime Baylor fan who “hates” Texas McClain said Bijan has “no flaws” on his character or his resume. When breaking down his game, John highlights Robinson’s versatility, his abilities as a receiver, and not just a runner.
“Bijan Robinson is a great receiver. I have never seen a better combination of a breakaway runner with moves, with instincts, toughness as a receiver. You can line him up wide, no linebacker can cover him, you can put him in motion, you can put him in the slot, he can make plays all over the field, and he is a great kid.” John said.
It’s safe to say John thinks the Atlanta Falcons hit a homerun with their eighth overall pick. If Bijan is the generational talent that everybody believes he is, then the Falcons could very well have the best running back duo in the NFL next season with Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.
