Bijan Robinson Profile

By: Lucas Kochevar

#5 Bijan Robinson, Texas, 6’0’’ 215 lbs.

• 1,580 Yds, 18TDs,
• Games Watched: Alabama, Oklahoma State, Kansas

Film Thoughts: A smooth combination of light on the feet with fierce power. Has all the tools in the drawer with stiff arms, spins, and jukes. Really strong at making jump cuts, runs patiently. Can be a threat in the passing game. Has great speed with good acceleration. Has fantastic ball carrier vision. Has improved on the blocking side each year. Would work best in a zone scheme to the outside. Understands angles unbelievably well in traffic and to the outside. Sometimes waits too long on deciding.
 
Bijan Robinson is one of the most complete and best prospects at the running back position that I’ve seen. He glides between tacklers and his running after contact is superb. It takes a gang to take him down. His arsenal is full of every move in the book and even though he doesn’t bulldoze tacklers time after time, he still runs with force and power. His legs never stop moving. His best ability is his jump cuts as that’s his number one move to evade tacklers. He has solid speed with decent acceleration. His vision is strong too as he fines the running lanes and bursts through them. Sometimes I think he waits too long to make that one cut and will get caught up in the pile. He’s a work-in-progress on his pass blocking and pass catching, but he can be effective in that department too.
