Bijan Robinson Draft Profile
Strengths
Bijan Robinson is an all-purpose running back that can do damage in both the inside and outside game all while offering value in the passing game. Robinson is fast and agile but also runs with toughness and authority, making his game as unpredictable as it gets. He is a workhorse that will only do more damage the more carries he gets — and his soft hands and unique footwork will bring him a long way in the league.
Weaknesses
While Robinson excels in nearly every aspect, his decision-making has plenty of room for improvement. He’s quick himself but sometimes his decisions to cut or take the outside lane are delayed, and it could cost him when facing speedy NFL defenses. It’d be best to form that plant-and-go mentality as soon as possible considering the hesitation seems to bleed into his urgency in pass protection situations, as well.
