I was never as impressed with Bijan at Texas as many others were.

I mean I felt he was a good back and worthy of a decent draft pick. Gotta say I was wrong. Truly elite player. Never saw what he's doing in Atlanta as often with Texas in big games.

Same boat. Falcons fan here, and I wasn’t overly excited when we drafted him, but damn this guy is a beast.

I'm from Georgia but never became a true Falcons fan. I guess it's because they sucked so bad when I was a kid, my dad never watched them much and wasn't as into NFL football as college football. I mean, I'll pull for them if they are in the playoffs, but my heart really isn't in it.

Big fan of the NFL due to fantasy football. Got a few shares of Bijan on my teams and loving it.

I never thought Cook would be as good as he's been either, and I pull hard for my NFL dawgs. Think James has been a better NFL player than college player as well.

He was great at Texas.

I believe he led the country in both yards after contact and making defenders miss. Lots and lots of wiggle and squeezing through holes that didn’t seem to be there.

That's kind of the reason. I only watched Texas if they playing games that truly impacted the playoff and in those games he wasn't able to show it. Probably had more to do with the guys around him than him.

* after you hurt our QB in the 1st quarter and still needed the refs to reverse a safety to win the game

Then you're blind. His cutting ability and balance immediately jumped out as generational. He lacks elite speed, but everything else is there

Robinson was definitely a stud at UT. Real breakaway speed and a physical runner. Glad he’s over the injured and showing out in the league

He’s almost as good as Devon Achane.

I'd say anything under 4.5 in the forty for an RB is elite. There were plenty of people that thought Trent Richardson was elite based on those kind of things. He wasn't. Scouting is not an exact science.

And again, I didn't think he was terrible. Felt he'd be successful in the NFL. Didn't think he'd be this good.

I feel the exact same way. I thought that he was an exceptional running back, but I didnt think that he was worthy of the high draft pick, and I didnt think he would be as good as he is in the nfl. Hes a monster out there.

mid to high 4.4's isn't much better than average. elite is sub 4.4, generational is sub 4.35

Dude hits very high on next gen stats MPH stuff. 40 isn't always the end all. He's fast. I mean I'm trying to tell you your RB is elite and probably the best all around RB in the NFL and you're trying to argue he's not that fast. Okay, you win.

He's hit 21.69 mph this year according to Next Gen Stats. Henry's top speed is 21.72. Gibbs is a little over 22.

Not many hit 21.69 mph.

So the guy who is not your back hits top end speed for an RB in the NFL.
