Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team on Tuesday. The former No. 8 overall pick out of Texas racked up 1,464 all-purpose yards this season for Atlanta. While the Falcons failed to end their postseason drought, there’s no denying Robinson’s contributions on offense.
The Pro Football Writers of America voted Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year, and teammate Will Anderson was named Defensive Rookie of the Year. Check out the full PFWA All-Rookie offense below:
