Playing Style
Robinson is extremely agile, using sharp cuts to deke defenders before finishing with a punishing blow. His ability to dodge defenders in the open field is special and he has the vision required to seek holes before making someone miss.
Robinson might not have the speed for huge plays like Saquon Barkley or Jonathan Taylor, but he might be the best at gaining chunk-yardage plays when it looks like nothing is there.
The other key factor in Robinson's repertoire is his ability to catch the ball. Because he cuts with such aggression his route running is terrific for a running back, showcased by his 137 career receptions in 38 games.

The Falcons signed Robinson to a three-year, $66.75 million extension that could reach $75 million if he secures the maximum incentives. The deal will kick in ahead of the 2028 season.
