It didn't take long for Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson to score his first NFL touchdown of the season.
And it was beautiful.
The Falcons' No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, caught a pass from Desmond Ridder and ran right through three Carolina Panthers defenders for a touchdown.
According to ESPN's Michael Rothstein, Robinson also made history as the Falcons' second running back to have a receiving touchdown in his first NFL debut.
Even before today's game, there was no reason to doubt Robinson, who was impressive during the preseason. His college stats alone also show what he's capable of, logging 1,580 rushing yards on 539 carries with 33 touchdowns along with 60 catches for 805 yards and eight more scores in three seasons with the Longhorns.
