- Bijan Robinson likes Falcons' chemistry with Michael Penix Jr. at QB
In the NFL, being a top-10 draft pick comes with massive expectations. From 2021 through 2024, the Atlanta Falcons selected four players in the top 10, and each has had some level of success.
Tight end Kyle Pitts had a 1,000-yard rookie season. Wide receiver Drake London finished with the fourth-most receiving yards in 2024. Bijan Robinson was the NFL's top three running backs last season, while quarterback Michael Penix Jr . showed a ton of promise in his three starts.

The Falcons will rely on these four players to lead their offense in 2025, and there has been a lot to like thus far in training camp. Robinson joined NFL Network's Steve Wyche and Steve Smith to discuss the team's offensive chemistry.
The former Texas Longhorn said he and his teammates are familiar with Penix's playing style after working out together during the offseason.
"We're all comfortable with Mike," said Robinson . "We're comfortable with how he places the ball, where he places the ball. Like I know where he's going to throw it. I know how he's going to get it there. So with me, with Drake, Mooney, Ray-Ray, Kyle, everybody on the offense, we all have a great feeling for him. He has a great feeling for us."
The Falcons offense returns 10 of 11 starters, with the exception of center Drew Dalman , who signed with the Chicago Bears in free agency. Ryan Neuzil has taken over at center. Overall, Robinson feels everyone is on the same page offensively.
