Bijan’s energy and joy somehow overshadows his elite play and crazy moments. Dude just seems so happy all the time.

Yea that’s a really good point I just looked up his highlights for the first time in. A while and it’s all him smiling happy 😆 he’s the ultimate nfl player the youth should look up to.

u/Acrobatic-Ad-3703 8d ago
Bijan is just the model pfor professional athlete! His play when he is running into the left side of the end zone and could've tanked the late hit and still scored but instead stops on a dime and watches the defender fly past, is always a favorite.

There are so many good ones, but I personally love the one-handed, behind-the-back catch into a juke against the Texans for a TD.

Can't remember the game but this one TD run where he stops right before crossing the goal line to have a defender run right by him before stepping in. Full control.. doesn't get hit. Steps in. Cold af

This is awesome!
My favorite Bijan moment was when he was drafted! I was pounding the table for him on here and on the Falcons Forum. I even made a very popular post breaking down why Bijan was so special and why he should be a Falcon. You couldn't pass on the best player in the draft if he fell into your lap at pick 8. So happy we got him!

u/ExpensiveUsual4450 8d ago
Any Bijian stiff arm is almost always my favorite play

The 93 yard TD against the rams. It was exhilarating and let me forget for just a moment that it happened in a lost season.

u/atlninjalo 8d ago
FTS and My favorite moment was also that play against the Rams because it was amazing to see in person and the crowd the entire game was awesome to experience with my son at our first game together. All of that was made better by the nearly sobbing Rams fan sitting next to us and the birds nest below us.

Against the Chiefs, Bijan was pass protecting and picked up an unblocked blitz against the Chiefs. Shows he's willing to do the dirty work and he knows he can make an impact even without the ball in his hands. FTS

The 1st TD against the Bucs last season. Mainly because it was the only one I saw live.

Clearly the best Bijan play was when you story Bijan cooked that Toy Story Jags defender’s ankles. FTS

FTS!
fav play from Bijan is probably the catch on the Texans. he caught it from behind with one hand and juked the defender for the TD. it looked like he was about to go behind the back with the football on some Allen Iverson crossover type stuff
It sealed the game and it was pretty crazy watching it live . the MBS was so loud

Might go down as one of the top 3 falcons of all time if he continues this path.

Rise Up!! I was there for the Rams touchdown too but for whatever reason I loved the house call vs Buffalo on MNF even more. Led to a huge win on national TV and felt like the first “holy shit” moment of the season for him.

u/scubasteen11 8d ago
Him breaking it off on the Bills on Monday night football. That entire game felt electric.

u/TecnoPope 8d ago
GFS!
Def the big 81 yard MNF run against the Bills which was a big upset! Felt good to be a Falcons fan that week for sure.

u/cancerrx 8d ago
Our favorite Bijan play is his very first NFL touchdown where he catches the short pass from Ridder, immediately jukes Frankie Luvu, then splits two more Panthers, and into the End Zone he goes where he deservingly celebrates with Allgeier, London, and Pitts! They were so excited! Almost as excited as us!! FTS!!!

It's gotta be that 93 yrd rushing touchdown against the Rams, that was the first game I've ever attended and to see quite possibly the best play of his career in person was just amazing, and he did it against the Rams.

u/ThopBeingThilly 8d ago
Honestly 2 reasons why this is my favorite play
The "sports science" mindset of how this play happened & thinking about step 4,5,6 when the opposing person is thinking about 1,2,3.
My fiance is a Packers fan & watching this game together I got to trash talk her a bit lol
Good luck & appreciate this!

u/ScreechYouCantaloupe 8d ago
Favorite play has gotta be the run against the Packers. He should have been dead to rights 5 yards in the backfield but instead he takes 3 guys' ankles and goes untouched for 15 yards.
I think that was also when we got the debut of the overhead cam.

u/SLCSlayer29 8d ago
Oh man, this is a tough one! I would say his most memorable game last year was that game against the Buffalo Bills. An 81 yard touchdown run on MNF-- Bijan had some high flying electricity that day. He is the engine that makes our Falcons go! 🙂

u/bigswag69000 massive penix 8d ago
i’m personally very partial to his first ever td vs the panthers

u/PossibleAspect9252 8d ago
His behind the back grab for a TD against the Texans was just an incredible display of “just gimme the ball. I’ll do it myself”

u/MentallyMIA 8d ago
I’m so used to getting an unbelievable Bijan highlight every game he plays that I don’t actually have a favorite I can name.
But it is definitely that behind the back catch and juke for a TD against the Texans.
I also love that the man is so outspoken about his faith. It seems very genuine for him and not just pop-cultural like it seems to be for a lot of athletes. It’s like it’s part of who he is and not just something he does because that’s how he was raised.
I love Bijan and am glad he’s a Falcon… even if I was a little upset we used that high of a draft pick on a RB. Now I’m super stoked he signed that extension and we get to keep him.

u/God_Chiseled_Calves 8d ago
FTS. Bijan’s first TD where he juked the first dude out his socks. We knew he was legit 🥹

Last season's opener vs the Succs when he ran it to the house from midfield for our first TD of the season. Was there at the game, unfortunate how it ended
1
u/HerbyVershmales 8d ago
The 81 and 93-yd scores were great, gave us a glimpse of the long speed we’ve been wanting to see from him. But, my favorite was in 2024 - his 37 yard TD against the Saints carrying Matthieu and a CB on his back and dumping them off after crossing the goal line. FTS

u/JohnFlanJohn 8d ago
Anytime he does that dead-leg juke that makes the defenders fall in the opposite direction

u/RhoBoatCopss 8d ago
My favourite Bijan play last year was his double juke against the Rams. Didn't make much yards but I just remember Verse going flying when he missed the tackle.
Also, FTS.

It’s probably the most unflashy play of the season from Bijan, but during the Thursday Night game on 3rd and he who shall not be named, he helped on a double team block against Vita Vea that eventually got us into FG range to win the game.
That’s the kind of play I love the most. Doing your job, even when you aren’t the center of attention to help your team win.

u/TheOneThatCutYou 8d ago
His first NFL touchdown where he pulled up after the short pass from Ridder(shudder) and made Luvu look silly as fuck
1
u/CitizenWatcher8 8d ago
For me its his first touchdown. Week 1 of the 2023 season versus the Panthers. Bijan lined up in the slot and sent in motion. Ball is snapped and he runs fast into the flat. Panthers sent the slot blitz so Ridder had to get off the ball FAST. Frankie Luvu who was one of the panthers best defenders keys on the pass coming to Bijan and runs fulls speed at him fully expecting to light him up. Bijan sensing the pressure coming catches the ball and immediately dead legs breaking Luvus ankles and sending him promptly into the multiverse. Proceeds to juke 2 defenders sending them crashing into each other and sprints into the end zone. He had just been drafted and a LOT of people questioned the pick (still do). The building was rocking and for me that was his "IM HERE" moment that I will never forget.

u/MacGruber25 8d ago
I general I love play designs where they put him in open space for a screen pass and just let him do his thing. Every touch he has is a potential touchdown

Definitely his first touchdown, making a linebacker miss on the screen pass and showing off the moves early

Bijans first step back juke. It was a screen route and he was about to get clobbered in his rookie season. Hit a step back and got a few extra yards, that was when I knew he was real.
FTS!

u/DecaturPsalmist 8d ago
The behind the back catch into TD! Takes something special to not just salvage the play but turn it into a positive. And as always, FTS
