Falcons' Bijan Robinson takes his place among the positions' greats

Against the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid on Sunday during Week 9, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had 147 scrimmage yards (100 rushing, 47 receiving) with one rushing touchdown.

Robinson became the fifth player in NFL history under 25 to record 30 rushing touchdowns and 10 receiving touchdowns, joining Marcus Allen, Edgerrin James, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Todd Gurley.

Robinson is also the fifth player in NFL history to record 100 yards from scrimmage in at least 35 games while under 25. This, again, places him among the greats: Emmitt Smith, Clinton Portis, Ezekiel Elliott, and Edgerrin James.

The age of 25 seems to be the magic number for running backs to start to separate the greats from the mediocre. With 6,778 scrimmage yards, he ranks fifth all time under 25 in NFL history. Only Ezekiel Elliott, Emmitt Smith, Clinton Portis, and Barry Sanders have more.

Bijan Robinson continues to etch his name into not only the Atlanta Falcons' record books but the NFL as a whole, and still has plenty of prime years left to move some of the other greats at the position aside.
