Saints' Tyrann Mathieu Hypes Bijan Robinson, Calls Out Falcons amid NFC South Rivalry

New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu knows his team is going to have its hands full for years to come when dealing with Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson.

"He's going to be special," Mathieu said on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast (h/t Grant Gordon of NFL.com). "Marshall Faulk, you know. Edgerrin James, you know what I mean? Like, LaDainian Tomlinson, you know? And I didn't think the Falcons really used him as good as they should have last year, but, man, he's going to be good."

That is quite the comparative list of running backs, although it should be noted Mathieu still managed to get a shot in at the rival Falcons in regard to their usage of Robinson.
