New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan has thrown his support behind Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, suggesting he should be considered for the MVP award this season. Jordan’s comments come ahead of the Saints’ matchup against the Falcons, scheduled for Sunday, where both teams are entering the game with significant momentum — New Orleans on a four-game winning streak and Atlanta boasting three consecutive victories.
In a press conference, Jordan highlighted Robinson’s impressive performance, stating, “Bijan Robinson is running like he’s a Heisman Trophy candidate. At this point, we might as well declare him MVP. Without him, their offense would be a little stagnant.” This praise follows Robinson’s standout game against the Los Angeles Rams, where he rushed for 195 yards on 22 carries and contributed two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving. In the previous week, he also demonstrated his versatility by amassing 92 receiving yards and another touchdown.
Robinson’s overall season stats are equally remarkable: he has accumulated 1,445 rushing yards, ranking fourth in the NFL, along with seven rushing touchdowns. Furthermore, his prowess in the passing game cannot be overlooked, as he stands second in the league with 810 receiving yards and has four touchdown receptions.
As both teams clash in this exciting matchup, Robinson’s abilities could play a pivotal role, and if he continues this trajectory, the conversation around his MVP candidacy will likely heat up even further. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how he performs against the Saints’ formidable defense.
