Bijan Robinson identified as Falcons' MVP candidate for 2026 season

NFL.com has named Bijan Robinson as the Atlanta Falcons' non-quarterback MVP candidate for the 2026 season. As the top running back, Robinson is expected to play a key role in the team's offense, particularly with uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position. Coach Kevin Stefanski's offensive strategy has performed well in past seasons, focusing heavily on the ground game, which fits Robinson's skill set. With the opportunity to build on back-to-back seasons of over 1,400 rushing yards, he may challenge existing rushing records if the Falcons can solidify their quarterback situation ahead of training camp.
