Summary

Bijan Robinson is one of the best running back prospects to enter the NFL draft in recent memory, but it’s looking like he won’t be drafted as such.

But Bijan hopes to change all of that. So today, Hallie Grossman shares his story, and tells us how the only flaw in his game is that he may have been born in the wrong generation.
