Falcons running back Bijan Robinson looked explosive on his first NFL carry Friday night in a preseason game against the Bengals, a 12-yard run that encapsulated so much of what he had already shown his team for weeks.
. He ran past a defender, evaded another one with some footwork and fell forward through the contact.
"It was definitely a good feeling," Robinson, the No. 8 pick in this year's NFL draft, said after the game, which ended in a 13-13 tie."It was just that little outside zone and just stretched it a little bit, got underneath the slips and then had to make the guy miss. That's what we practice every day in camp.Editor's PicksIt was all part of a short but effective outing for Robinson, who had four carries for 20 yards and one reception for six yards.
Smith had planned on playing Robinson all week but made it clear Atlanta wasn't going to show everything his offense could do with the playmaker -- not even close. Instead, Smith chose to do what most NFL teams do in the preseason, running their normal concepts and"vanilla" personnel groupings.Robinson, 21, said he was"a little nervous" because it was his first NFL game, but after his first play, he said, everything felt more natural.
