While the Falcons haven’t been better than mediocre in a decade, they’ve had some players who have worked their asses off to do special things, which has made watching this mess more tolerable and has put them on a crash course with making history in Atlanta. The Falcons have turned over a significant chunk of their roster in recent years, with record holders and record chasers like Grady Jarrett and Younghoe Koo headed elsewhere. There are still long-time stalwarts and standout stars who are threatening to topple franchise marks or at least move into rareified air in 2026, and I’ve rounded those players up here.

Bijan Robinson At this point, good health is all that stands between Robinson and the team’s career rushing records. Already 7th in team history in rushing yards, he’s just 62 yards behind Devonta Freeman and can take 5th place away from Jamal Anderson if he just repeats his 1,400 yard rushing performance from the past two seasons. In addition, seven rushing touchdowns will see Bijan leap from a tie for 8th with Haskel Stanback at 25 TDs to 4th, behind Anderson.

Given that he had 14 rushing touchdowns in 2024, there’s a decent chance he can pick up the three he’d need to get by Jam, too. If that happens, only Gerald Riggs (48 touchdowns) and Michael Turner (60) will be in front of him. Oh, and Bijan is just under 300 yards away from moving to 2nd in terms of receiving yardage by a running back in Falcons history, a mark he’s almost assured to hit with a healthy season.
