Saquon Barkley calls Bijan Robinson 'the next great one' in NFL Top 100 clip

Robinson was ranked 62nd on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 countdown After a promising rookie season, Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson took things to another level in 2025. The former top-10 pick finished his sophomore campaign ranked third in the NFL with 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns. Robinson's big year helped him land a spot on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 countdown. The Falcons running back was ranked as the 62nd-best player in the league, drawing praise from his peers, including 2024 rushing leader Saquon Barkley. "Bijan's definitely the next great one," said Barkley. "Him and [Jahmyr] Gibbs. But there's nobody who's able to cut like Bijan in the NFL. There's not. You can argue with your mom about that to be honest. And, you know, trust me, I love myself and I think I have great cuts. His vision, his agility, and he can catch the ball too." WATCH: Bijan Robinson makes NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 The Falcons held their first training camp practice on Thursday, giving fans their first glimpse of the 2025 roster. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and tight end Kyle Pitts were the stars of Day 1. The team has Friday off but will return to the practice field on Saturday.

Giants' Brian Burns, Wan'Dale Robinson shaken up after scary collision at training camp

Brian Burns and Wan'Dale Robinson headed to the locker room at Giants training camp Friday after a big collision during practice. Trainers rushed onto the field to tend to the two players, The Post's Ryan Dunleavy reported. The injury scare happened when Burns, the two-time Pro-Bowl linebacker, and Robinson, a wide receiver entering his fourth NFL season, collided during a play. Both players walked off the field and into the facility following the big hit. Robinson got up first, with his hand on his lower back. Brian Burns at Giants training camp on July 23.

See it: New York Giants' Brian Burns, Wan'Dale Robinson violently collide at practice

A scary moment played out at New York Giants training camp on Friday that led many to hold their breath. During a drill shortly after a pre-planned water break, wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson and linebacker Brian Burns collided at full speed with a loud thud. Robinson was attempting to side-step a defender as Burns chased the play down from behind. Neither player saw the other until it was too late. A Giants Nation Show video captured the moment of the collision. An SNY video from the field failed to catch the actual collision, but did record audio of the hit and subsequent reaction. After the thud, coaches, players, and fans gasp as trainers rushed onto the field. Both players were shaken up and remained on the ground for several moments. Eventually, trainers escorted Robinson to the sideline and Burns to the locker room. More to come...
