NFL Top 100: Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson is No. 62, faces the Cardinals in 2025
The Cardinals will face Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, another 'NFL Top 100' opponent for them. This week, the NFL had its fourth week of revealing players in the "NFL Top 100." This week was about revealed Nos. 61-70. Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride came in at No. 65. On Friday, two Cardinals opponents for 2025 rounded out the week. Coming at No. 62 was Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, his debut in the top 100. Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith, who was Robinson's teammate in 2023, described him as "AI (Allen Iverson) with the ball in his hands. "The way he's able to manipulate cuts, it doesn't look like they are things the human body can do" Guard Chris Lindstrom, the standout guard on the Falcons, raved about Robinson as a person and a teammate. Matt Judon, who played for the Falcons last season, said, "Bijan with the ball is pure poetry." Even Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had good things to say. "I think Bijan's the next great one," he said. "Bijan is definitely the next great one." The Arizona native (from Tucson) had 1,456 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in 2024, and he had 61 receptions for 431 yards and another score. When the Cardinals played the Falcons and Robinson in 2023, the return of quarterback Kyler Murray to the lineup, Robinson had 95 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 25-23 Cardinals win. The Cardinals will play the Falcons at home in Week 16, their final home game of the regular season, and will have to handle Robinson when playoff berths and division titles could be on the line. 'NFL Top 100' opponents for Cardinals in 2025 Of the 30 players in the top 100 revealed as of the end of last week, the Cardinals face the following: Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Dolphins' Jaelan Phillips calls teammate 'a future Defensive Player of the Year candidate'
Jaelan Phillips has only played a handful of games with Chop Robinson, but he's seen enough of the Miami Dolphins' 2024 first-round pick to feel like he's a star in the making. "I truly feel like Chop is going to be one of the best players in the league very soon," Phillips told reporters Friday. "I think he already is supremely talented, but the more comfortable he gets, the more confident he gets, and everything he's doing, I think he's a future Defensive Player of the Year candidate." Robinson, 22, was forced into a significant role as a rookie with Bradley Chubb unavailable all year due to a knee injury suffered late in the 2023 season. The Dolphins became even more reliant on the first-year pass rusher when Phillips suffered a season-ending knee injury of his own in Week 4. But after a slow start with zero sacks in September and October, Robinson emerged as one of the NFL's most productive pass rushers in the back half of the 2024 season. Between Weeks 10 and 18, Robinson was credited with 42 quarterback pressures by PFF, second most over that stretch behind only the Dallas Cowboys' four-time Pro Bowl rusher Micah Parsons. With Chubb and Phillips both healthy and in training camp, the Dolphins are hopeful that finally having the trio at Anthony Weaver's disposal will result in chaos in opposing backfields. "I think you'll see things open up a little more, so it will be exciting," Phillips told reporters in June. "[Robinson's] improvement from last year to this year is like so noticeable, it's insane. Especially if you really know the nitty gritty of it, so I'm really proud of Chop, really excited to see how he's going to keep progressing. Obviously, Bradley (Chubb) looks great, I feel really good. It's going to be fun.' The Dolphins finished the 2024 season with 35 sacks, sixth fewest in the NFL.

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.
