2,298 Yards later, Bijan Robinson has a strong case to be NFL’s No. 1 player
Bijan Robinson exploded for an NFL-best 2,298 scrimmage yards in 2025 and earned first-team All-Pro honors. After ranking No. 62 last year, could the Falcons superstar make the stunning leap all the way to No. 1?
After amassing an astounding 2,298 yards from scrimmage last season, Bijan Robinson stands on the threshold of becoming the NFL’s No. 1 player. Originally listed at No. 62 in the 2025 NFL Top 100, Robinson’s explosive performance could propel him to the top spot. Among NFL.com’s contenders for the prestigious top rank, Robinson’s numbers speak volumes.
He led the NFL with 1,478 rushing yards and 820 receiving yards, translating to a franchise-record 2,298 yards from scrimmage. His 5.1 yards per carry on 287 attempts paired with 79 receptions made him an unstoppable force, earning him first-team All-Pro honors, a Pro Bowl selection, and a finalist spot for the 2025 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year award.
Robinson further distinguished himself as only the second running back in league history to achieve 1,400 rushing yards and 800 receiving yards in a single season. This remarkable transformation from a player ranked No. 62 to a potential No. 1 candidate makes Robinson a formidable contender.
