The Atlanta Falcons secured their star running back's future by picking up Bijan Robinson's fifth-year contract option Friday. Robinson finished fourth in the NFL with 1,478 rushing yards and led all players with 2,298 scrimmage yards in 2025, a franchise record that earned him first-team All-Pro honors.

The 24-year-old has established himself as Atlanta's cornerstone player since being selected eighth overall in 2023. Robinson's three-season production includes 3,910 rushing yards and 34 total touchdowns, making him the focal point of the Falcons' offense and marketing efforts.

While the option pickup was expected, attention now turns to a potential contract extension. Robinson downplayed discussions, saying he'll leave negotiations to his agent. The Falcons front office faces decisions on how to invest in their young star who has quickly become the face of the franchise.
