The Facts: The Falcons select Texas' Robinson with the eighth pick overall.

Diehards Line: Robinson ran for 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, both top-six numbers in the nation. He led the nation with 91 forced missed tackles last season. He also caught 60 balls over three seasons at Texas. It’s the third straight season that the Falcons have taken an offensive weapon in the first round. Robinson joins tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receiver Drake London in an offense that’s set to be piloted by quarterback Desmond Ridder in 2023. The Falcons also have impressive 2022 rookie Tyler Allgeier and veteran Cordarrelle Patterson in the backfield, so there’s plenty of talent around Ridder as he tries to prove he’s the right man for the job. ...
