"Our games are kind of similar, and you can line us up anywhere on the field and be just a mismatch as we are at the running back position," Robinson added."I see that's where the running back position is being valued now. That's where I think it's going to be headed.""Obviously, I understand that the running back position has been looked at as a ‘less than’ position.
"Obviously, for me, being a guy that can play running back, play receiver, kind of be really versatile, it's an opportunity to do the same thing. It's definitely a blessing, and I'm happy to share it with those guys as well."Texas running back Bijan Robinson puts on a hat after being chosen by the Atlanta Falcons with the eighth overall pick during the first round of the NFL draft Thursday, April 27, 2023, in Kansas City, Mo.
