The Atlanta Falcons hit a home run when they drafted Texas running back Bijan Robinson with their 8th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Robinson would immediately make a big impact on the Falcons’ roster. Furthermore, the talented playmaker is looking to wear the number 7 jersey, once worn by the former Falcons QB Michael Vick.
During a recent episode of the Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill‘s podcast, it needed to be said that Robinson talked about wearing the iconic Michael Vick’s number 7 jersey. Robinson revealed that he got permission from Vick and Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (who had been wearing the number for the last 4 years) to wear number 7 because of his faith.
“So Coach [Arthur] Smith asked Michael Vick if I could wear the number. And he (Vick) said yeah, like he was very excited for me to be in the number. I asked Younghoe Koo, and he was super cool with it off the bat,” said Robinson.
“Seven would actually be pretty dope to be another playmaker on the offense,” said Robinson while discussing the reasons he wanted number 7. “For me, I looked at it in a different way, obviously, like my faith, so I looked at it biblically, and the number of completion. So that’s why I like number seven a lot, like ‘That’s the number Atlanta loves to wear.’”
Just like the electric quarterback Michael Vick, Robinson is also a great playmaker on the field. The Falcons fans would be happy to finally see another number 7 making remarkable plays in red and white colors.
Bijan Robinson was a highly touted running back out of the University of Texas, who was drafted in the first round as expected. His presence in the backfield will be a major boost to the Falcons offense. The explosive RB Robinson will help their second-year quarterback Desmond Ridder find his footing in the NFL.

Many experts thought the Falcons should’ve addressed their needs in the defensive line position instead of spending a top-10 pick on a running back. While drafting RBs in the first round is a questionable decision, Robinson is not an ordinary running back, he is a playmaker.

The six-foot tailback was a menace during his college football days with the Texas Longhorns. Robinson accounted for 4215 scrimmage yards and 41 total touchdowns during his 3-year stint with the Longhorns.
He is great at both rushing and receiving games and a solid weapon in the red zone. Robinson would be sharing the Falcons backfield with the second-year RB Tyler Allgeier and the veteran back Cordarrelle Patterson. 3 of them along with wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts make the Atlanta-based franchise one of the scariest offensive units in the NFL.
