In a stunning snub, Falcons rookie sensation Bijan Robinson was left off the 2025 Pro Bowl roster, sparking fierce debate among NFL fans and analysts alike. Many expected Robinson, who has been a focal point of Atlanta’s offense this season, to earn a well-deserved spot, especially given his remarkable all-around performance. With his combination of rushing and receiving yards, as well as his total touchdowns, Robinson has been one of the most dynamic and consistent playmakers in the league.
Though Saquon Barkley was widely seen as a unanimous choice—rightfully so for his explosive impact on the Giants’ offense—Robinson’s exclusion raises questions about the criteria for Pro Bowl selections. His yardage and touchdowns have been on par with, if not better than, some of the players who did make the cut, such as Jamaal Williams or Miles Sanders, and his unique ability to contribute both on the ground and in the passing game has made him a standout in the NFC.
Meanwhile, players like Gibbs and Jacobs—while deserving in their own right—have been part of high-powered offenses with multiple weapons around them, making their production perhaps less central to their respective teams’ success than Robinson’s has been to Atlanta’s offensive scheme. For the Falcons, it’s clear: the offense runs through Bijan.
As Pro Bowl voting continues to evolve, Robinson’s absence highlights the challenge of assessing true value and impact across different systems. Fans, analysts, and even former players are questioning how a player as prolific as Robinson could be overlooked, calling for a reevaluation of how selections are made. Many believe that this snub may just fuel Robinson’s motivation as he continues to solidify his status as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
