Falcons running back Bijan Robinson made big gains from Year 1 to Year 2, but how much more can he contribute to the team’s run game?

After rushing for nearly a thousand yards as a rookie in 2023, Robinson’s production in carries and rushing yards improved almost 50% last season. More gains like those would put him over the 2,000-yard mark in rushing yards.

In fact, should he increase his rushing yards by 49.2% again, he would set an NFL single-season record (with 2,172), surpassing what currently is a 40-year record.

Robinson’s career stats:

Season | Carries | Yards | Touchdowns | Avg. per carry

2023 | 214 | 976 | 4 | 4.6

2024 | 304 | 1,456 | 14 | 4.8

Give us your prediction for how many rushing yards Robinson will gain in the coming season.
