Bijan Robinson Played 'Everywhere' in 1st Falcons Practice; Spent Time at RB and WR

The Atlanta Falcons used Friday's rookie minicamp to test out No. 8 pick Bijan Robinson in multiple positions, including at wide receiver.

"[Head coach Arthur Smith] uses me everywhere, from receiver to running back," Robinson said Friday, per ESPN's Harry Lyles Jr. "He lets me do my abilities and skill set the right way, whether it's catching the ball, running routes, obviously running the football, blocking and doing it all."

The former University of Texas running back also said he had FaceTimed with Tyler Allgeier, the 2022 fifth-round pick who led the Falcons with 1,035 rushing yards last season.
