Everyone has been saying Bijan Robinson’s name wrong

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson clarified the pronunciation of his first name during NFL Network's Back Together Weekend, revealing it is correctly said as "buh-zhon" rather than the commonly assumed "bee-jon." This correction is notable given Robinson's personal Dijon mustard brand, which plays on the phonetic similarity to "Dijon"—though the two words do not actually rhyme. The article humorously notes the revelation may disappoint mustard enthusiasts but serves as a preseason aid for broadcasters who frequently reference his name.

The piece suggests more NFL players should issue such pronunciation guides to prevent common mispronunciations, acknowledging that while broadcasters receive formal guides, widespread public usage often overrides them. It concludes with lighthearted concern about potential impact on Robinson's condiment business while expressing hope broadcasters adopt the correct pronunciation for the Falcons star.
