Falcons’ Bijan Robinson Vows to Fulfil Tyreek Hill’s Failed Promise

The Atlanta Falcons rookie set the ground on fire in his debut season. But Bijan Robinson isn’t satisfied, he wants to get to a milestone that a handful have previously achieved. And many have failed, including Tyreek Hill!

Cheetah has consistently been one of the best rushing wide receivers in the game. But even he can’t get past the mark of 2000 yards in rushing. Now the youngster is taking the challenge to reach the coveted 2K club.

Bijan Robinson wants to go where Tyreek Hill couldn’t

After registering a career-best of 1,710 rushing yards with the Miami Dolphins in the 2022 season. Cheetah vowed to break past the 2000-yard mark in the 2023 season. The 29-year-old WR came might close with another career-high of 1,799 rushing yards.

Now, the 22-year-old has picked up the mantle to get past the 2K mark. “I want 2,000 yards rushing”, said Robinson to the media earlier this month. The running back registered 976 yards, highly impressive for the debutant, but he isn’t satisfied.

“That may be great somewhere else, but that shouldn’t be the standard for me”, said Robinson. While Hill had only 593 rushing yards in his debutant season. But both of them want to get into an illustrious club that has only 8 members till now!

The 2000 yards club awaits new entries

In the history of the NFL, only 8 players have been able to break the 2000-yard barrier. The RB O.J. Simpson was the first one to do so in 1973 with 2,003 yards in a 14-game season. And next to get in the club was Eric Dickerson in 1983. He holds the record for most rushing yards with 2,105.

The only active player to get past the 2000-yard mark and the eighth ever to do so, is the Tennessee Titans’ RB Derrick Henry in the 2020 season, with 2,027 yards to his name. While Hill became the rushing yards leader last season, he too wouldn’t be satisfied with that. Just like the youngster Robinson.

Will Tyreek Hill or Bijan Robinson get into the 2000-yard club in their career? Who will get there first?
