Pros

• Elite size for the position to both power through tacklers as well as burn defenders.

• Elite athleticism for his overall size as well that allows him to make incredible plays on the field. 


• Can make any defender miss with relative ease in the phone booth with his rare short area quickness. 

• Is almost impossible to tackle in the open field with powerful frame and elusiveness. 

• Exceptional agility allows him to make evasive maneuvers very quickly as well as run good routes for a running back when asked to.

​

• Elite ball carrier vision to find developing holes and take the path of least resistance in the trenches.

• Rips through arm tackles with relative ease and very rarely finds himself getting brought down at the line of scrimmage.

• He can juke, spin, stiff, and hurdle with the best of them.

• He's an exceptional receiving threat at the running back position with his ability to not only catch short passes with ease but made it routine to run routes both in the heart of the defense as well as downfield for the occasional deep ball.

• Elite hands for the position to haul in passes and even can contort his body and frame like a receiver to make difficult catches.

• He can turn on the nasty running style when needed but is good about not making running into contact a sufficient part of his game. 

​

• His vast skillset for the position speaks to very high football IQ and thirst for more knowledge. 

• Immense work ethic off the and a workout warrior in the gym to ensure that he stays in peak form. 

• Only three fumbles in his career at Texas.

• Humble player with exceptional leadership capabilities. 

• Unanimous Doak Walker award winner in 2022.

Cons

• Could improve as a blocker in pass protection

​

• Could play with more power between tackles rather than trying to evade everyone. 

Overview

I know the age of the early first running back is coming to slow but gradual decline in the NFL but like Saquon Barkley's draft in 2018 when he went 2nd overall he was a blue chip once-in-a-generation level talent at the position and while Bijan isn't, as of right now, a Barkley level player he's not far behind. His skillset is incredibly rare and something running backs drafted in Day 2 or 3 rarely if ever possess coming out of college. Robinson's only knock against him is his blocking capabilities and not because I don't think he can but because they were rarely on display given that he was much better served running with the football rather than protecting the quarterback. I saw a potential top 5 talent in the draft with his ability and teams looking for a every down potential decade long All-Pro at the position should have him at top their board. He's like Saquon Barkley-Ezekiel Elliott hybrid running back and like both of those players, his positional value should be taken out of the equation for his draft analysis.
