FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Four members of the Atlanta Falcons made The Associated Press’ 2025 All-Pro team.
AP released its roster Saturday morning.
Bijan Robinson was named the first-team running back and second-team all-purpose player. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., right guard Chris Lindstrom and safety Jessie Bates III each earned a second-team spot at their respective positions.
This is Robinson’s first AP All-Pro team selection since entering the league as a first-round draft pick in 2023. He did, however, finish fifth in the AP’s Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.
Otherwise, Robinson has earned back-to-back spots in the Pro Bowl from 2024-25.
Robinson led the league with 2,298 yards from scrimmage, which is the 12th most in a single season in NFL history. He averaged 135.2 yards per game and gained more than 160 yards seven times. His highest total was 238 yards from scrimmage in the Falcons’ Week 6 win against the Buffalo Bills. He again broke the 200-yard threshold in Atlanta’s Week 17 victory against the Los Angeles Rams; Robinson gained 229 total yards in the game.
Robinson finished with a career-high 1,478 rushing yards, which ranked fourth in the league, and a career-high 820 receiving yards, which was second most among his position group. He scored seven touchdowns on the ground and four through the air. He is just the second running back all-time to record at least 1,400 rushing yards and 800 receiving yards in a single season.
Pitts is also a first-time All-Pro selection. He was a Pro Bowler as a rookie in 2021 after getting drafted by the Falcons in the first round.
In 2025, Pitts caught 88 of his 118 targets for a career-best 74.6% success rate. He totaled 928 yards to lead the Falcons and place second among all tight ends. He was one of six tight ends to lead his team in receiving yards. And he was responsible for 25.1% of the Falcons’ total receiving yards, placing second again among tight ends in that regard
Pitts scored a career-high five touchdowns, which continued his trend of adding one touchdown to his previous year’s total each year.
