The No. 8 pick in the NFL, Bijan Robinson decided to pick the most recognizable jersey number in Atlanta’s history. The legendary No.7.
Former quarterback Michael Vick made the number famous across the NFL. Honestly, the number was so iconic that anytime a you mentioned 7 in Atlanta it only meant Vick.
Now, it’s been years since Vick suited up for the Falcons. Although legendary, the number has not been retired. Unfortunately, the Vick era ended in the worst way possible for the Falcons.
Kicker, Younghoe Koo, wore the number this past season. He has opted to give let the number go for Robinson to wear it.
Bijan Robinson wore No. 5 in college for the Texas Longhorns. Drake London, the Falcon’s top pick in the 2022 draft is wearing No. 5. However, like most kids entering the league, they all know what that number means.
Ultimately, it will be up to Robinson to live up to the greatness of that Jersey.
