Last year’s fifth round selection at running back, Tyler Allgeier, ended the season as a 1,000 yard back and the team’s single season rookie rushing yardage record holder. With the always dangerous Cordarrelle Patterson, a recuperating-but-effective Caleb Huntley set to return at some point in 2023, and speedy Avery Williams in the backfield, the Falcons could’ve dusted their hands and rolled forward.
They didn’t exactly do that, selecting Texas running back Bijan Robinson with the 8th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. With Robinson added to the group, this might be the most dangerous running back room in the entire league, and it’s one that the Falcons will deploy to great effect on hapless defenses this fall.
