Falcons' Bold Move: Landing Bijan Robinson with No. 8 Pick in NFL Draft.

Atlanta Falcons General Manager Terry Fontenot explains how the team landed Texas running back Bijan Robinson in the 2023 NFL Draft. Despite receiving trade offers, the Falcons were confident Robinson would be available at No. 8 overall and declined all offers to select him. Fontenot cites the team's passion and conviction for Robinson as the reason for sticking to their plan and not risking losing him. Robinson's fit with the team's organizational culture, locker room, and skill set also played a role in the decision.
