Bijan Robinson & Tyreek Hill are simply way too young to be doing any type of top 5 lists, but they did so anyway this week and are getting blasted for it.
Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson recently appeared on Miami Dolphins’ star receiver Tyreek Hills’ podcast, “It Had to be Said,” where the former Texas Longhorns player would reveal some of the greats to ever play his position.
In fact, both of them would list their respective top-five running backs of all time.
The No. 8 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft had Barry Sanders, LaDainian Tomlinson, Marshall Faulk, Adrian Peterson, and Walter Payton on his list.
Meanwhile, the veteran Hill had Peterson, Derrick Henry, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, and Eric Dickerson rounding out his top five.
Social media saw these lists and ripped them a new one.

Tough crowd. As you can see, Bijan got more love for his list than Tyreek, which is shocking given that Bijan is just now entering the league.
A superstar with the Longhorns while in college, Robinson has the full package to be great with the Falcons. During his junior season, he rushed for 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns while adding 314 yards and two scores in the passing game, all career-highs.
Hill recorded a career-high 119 receptions for a career-high 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns in his first season with the Dolphins. Those numbers would likely be even better if Tua hadn’t missed so many games.
2023 is looking to be even better.
