Is Bijan Robinson the best player in the NFL? @Ky1eLong: "He transcends skill. I mean he's just unbelievable." https:// Via @NFLonCBS on X

What happened: Kyle Long backed Robinson as the NFL's best during an NFL on CBS debate, saying he transcends skill. Long called the Falcons back unbelievable.

Why it matters: Robinson capped an opening drive with a touchdown run last month, sustaining his role as Atlanta's offensive centerpiece. His 2026 camp opened with a hold-in as contract talks continued.

By the numbers: In 2025, Robinson ran 287 times for 1,478 yards and 7 touchdowns across 17 games. Atlanta drafted him eighth overall out of Texas in 2023.

What to watch: Atlanta's upcoming games will test whether Robinson sustains his prime-time production across the 2026 regular season.
