Saquon Barkley sends ‘scary’ Bijan Robinson warning to NFL

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley issued a warning to the NFL about Atlanta Falcons star Bijan Robinson, who debuted at No. 62 on the NFL Top 100 list. Barkley emphatically stated Robinson possesses unparalleled cutting ability on the field, declaring, "There’s nobody who’s able to cut like Bijan in the NFL" and admitted Robinson surpasses even his own skills in this area. He added, "It’s finna get scary for a lot of people," highlighting the threat Robinson poses.

This endorsement is particularly significant as Barkley is coming off a historic career year, becoming only the ninth player ever to exceed 2,000 rushing yards in a single season. Robinson, entering his third NFL season at age 23, is viewed as having immense potential after a breakout 2024-25 campaign. His statistics from last season include 1,456 rushing yards, 15 total touchdowns (14 rushing), and 431 receiving yards, showcasing his versatility.

With rookie quarterback Michael Penix set to start, the Falcons are expected to heavily rely on Robinson as a focal point of their offense. His performance will be closely watched starting with Atlanta’s season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 7. If Robinson builds on last season’s success, he is anticipated to climb higher in future NFL Top 100 rankings.
