Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian knows exactly what the Atlanta Falcons are getting in running back Bijan Robinson, following his selection with the eighth overall pick last night.
“As I’ve said all along, he’s a better human being than [a] football player, which is hard for a lot of guys when you’re that talented,” Sarkisian said in a statement, per 247Sports. “He has unbelievable work ethic, outstanding leadership, he’s team-captain worthy and has Pro Bowl ability. He checks all the boxes. The Atlanta Falcons are getting a uniquely versatile player.
