ATLANTA -- Bijan Robinson walked back to his locker after his NFL debut and saw his Atlanta Falcons teammate, fullback Keith Smith, chatting with a reporter about what else: the rookie running back's opening day.
Smith has been a part of a lot of plays and debuts in his 10-year NFL career. Seeing his rookie teammate coming, Smith smiled and started describing Robinson as the "most humble kid I've been blessed to work with."
The Falcons have asked Robinson to handle a lot, Smith said, and each time -- Robinson has handled it.
