Robinson set a record for the most forced missed tackles in a single season per PFF's game charting - he topped the triple-digit mark with 102 forced missed tackles. What stands out the most to me about Robinson's 2022 season - and this was the case in all three of his seasons at Texas - was how hard he was to take down in the open field.

On top of that, he performed progressively better in each of his three seasons at Texas with his 2022 season so dominant that he received a 95.3 overall grade from PFF. Robinson has all of the traits and production that translate to the NFL level. Robinson's 2023 combine performance all but guaranteed he would be the first running back off the board in this class. After landing in an incredible landing spot like Atlanta, especially for immediate impact, there will not be a single non-quarterback who surpasses Robinson in rookie drafts and a case can be made that he belongs No.

Having said that, in two-QB and Superflex leagues, Robinson could slide a few picks down the draft board. I share in their certainty and wouldn't consider any other non-quarterback no matter where Robinson is eventually drafted. Robinson has long been prognosticated as the first overall pick in Dynasty formats, and that speaks volumes as to how sure the community is about him as a prospect. Remember, just a few years ago Clyde Edwards-Helaire creeped into the back end of Round 1 of Fantasy drafts as a rookie. The offense will operate through their new featured back and he is likely to creep all the way into the back-end of Round 1 of Fantasy draft once the hype builds throughout training camp and the preseason. Smith has found success with a bell-cow in the past with Henry and the same will be the case with Robinson in 2023. A strong case can be made that Robinson is an even better prospect than Henry was entering the draft.Īlthough the Falcons found a lot of rushing success with 2022 rookie running back Tyler Allgeier, it's difficult to imagine any kind of true split in work for anything longer than the first few weeks of the 2023 season. Smith coordinated a dominant rushing attack as offensive coordinator with the Titans led by Derrick Henry, and the blueprint is likely to be the same now with a talent like Robinson. They did it with an excellent and diverse run blocking scheme installed by head coach Arthur Smith and his assistants.
