Are you worried about the Falcons RT position? Well, Bijan Robinson isn’t

The Atlanta Falcons are dealing with the loss of starting right tackle Kaleb McGary due to injury, raising concerns about the offensive line's stability. McGary's experience and run-blocking prowess are viewed as significant losses, despite some downplaying the traditional importance of blindside protection.

Elijah Wilkinson, who is stepping in as McGary's replacement, received mixed reviews during the preseason, with his run blocking seen as a noticeable downgrade. However, star running back Bijan Robinson has expressed strong confidence in Wilkinson, describing him as a "dawg" and emphasizing that many are underestimating his abilities.

Wilkinson brings experience from multiple NFL teams, including the Broncos, Cardinals, Bears, and Falcons, with versatility to play both guard and tackle positions. Robinson highlighted Wilkinson's mindset, noting that he has a "chip on his shoulder" and is motivated to prove critics wrong. Robinson personally encouraged Wilkinson to embrace the opportunity and take ownership of the position.

While concerns about the right tackle spot remain, Robinson's endorsement provides a level of optimism. The Falcons and their supporters are hopeful that Wilkinson's readiness and determination, combined with Robinson's support, will help mitigate the impact of McGary's absence.
