Four Atlanta Falcons players have been recognized in The Associated Press’ 2025 NFL All-Pro Team, as announced recently. This year marks a significant achievement for Bijan Robinson, who was selected as both the first-team running back and the second-team all-purpose player.
Key Achievements of Bijan Robinson
2025 marks Bijan Robinson’s debut on the AP All-Pro Team. The running back entered the NFL as a first-round draft pick in 2023 and has since made a notable impact. His impressive performance this season includes:
- Leading the league with 2,298 yards from scrimmage, ranking 12th all-time in NFL history.
- Averaging 135.2 yards per game.
- Achieving a season-high of 238 yards in a Week 6 win against the Buffalo Bills.
- Amassing 229 yards in a Week 17 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
- Finishing with a record of 1,478 rushing yards, placing fourth in the league.
- Recording 820 receiving yards, the second highest within his position.
- Scoring a total of 11 touchdowns: seven rushing and four receiving.
Robinson is now only the second running back in history to surpass both 1,400 rushing yards and 800 receiving yards in a single season. His outstanding performance also earned him Pro Bowl selections in both 2024 and 2025, alongside his fifth-place finish in the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.
Other Falcons on the All-Pro Team
Joining Robinson, three other Falcons earned honors:
- Kyle Pitts Sr.: The tight end received his first All-Pro selection. In the 2025 season, he caught 88 passes from 118 targets, yielding a career-best 74.6% success rate. He recorded 928 receiving yards, ranking him second among all tight ends.
- Chris Lindstrom: The right guard was named to the second team for his consistent performance at the offensive line.
- Jessie Bates III: The safety also earned a second-team selection, highlighting his contributions to the Falcon’s defensive unit.
Pitts further distinguished himself this season by scoring a career-high five touchdowns. He contributed significantly to the Falcons’ passing game, accounting for 25.1% of the team’s total receiving yards, also ranking second among tight ends in this statistic.
The recognition of these players by the AP illustrates the growth and talent within the Falcons’ roster as they continue to build towards future success.
