Atlanta Falcons star Bijan Robinson reveals the correct way to pronounce his name

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, entering his third NFL season after being a top-10 draft pick, has clarified the correct pronunciation of his first name. During a recent NFL Network appearance at training camp, Robinson stated that his name is pronounced "Bih-ZHON," correcting the common mispronunciation "Bee-ZHON" used by many fans. Robinson emphasized the importance of getting his name right as his stardom grows and he becomes the face of the Falcons franchise.

Robinson's exceptional talent was highlighted by fellow star running back Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley declared that "there's nobody who's able to cut like Bijan in the NFL," stating unequivocally that Robinson possesses unique cutting ability unmatched by any other player, including himself.

This clarification and praise come after Robinson's breakout 2024 season where he amassed over 1,800 combined yards and scored 14 rushing touchdowns. The Falcons are hopeful he can replicate this performance in 2025 to help lead the team back to the postseason for the first time since 2017.
