Atlanta Falcons select top running back prospect Bijan Robinson with No. 8 pick

Bijan Robinson was the first running back drafted in the top 10 since 2018.
Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs were the first pair of running backs drafted in the top 15 since 2017.
Robinson believes he and Gibbs could signal a shift toward valuing running backs more highly again.
Falcons coach Arthur Smith sees Robinson as a player who will have a major impact, not just at the running back position.
Robinson played for the Salpointe Catholic Lancers in high school and the Texas Longhorns before being drafted by the Falcons.
