Bijan Robinson aims to challenge Chris Johnson's scrimmage yard record

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson enters the 2026 season with potential to break Chris Johnson's NFL record of 2,509 scrimmage yards. After achieving 2,298 yards last season, Robinson looks to increase his workload following a significant contract extension. He may require around 400 total touches for the record, which would mean averaging over 23.5 touches per game across a full season. The Falcons are yet to finalize their quarterback, with Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa as candidates, which may influence Robinson’s opportunities in the passing game.
