Bijan Robinson and Chris Lindstrom Named to 2026 Pro Bowl Games
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and right guard Chris Lindstrom have been named to the 2026 Pro Bowl Games, a testament to their outstanding performances during the season. The NFL released the NFC and AFC rosters for the event on December 23, 2025.
Robinson’s Impressive Season
Bijan Robinson’s best plays came in his most recent game against the Arizona Cardinals, where he amassed a record-breaking 2,026 yards from scrimmage. He has also had six games this season with at least 150 yards from scrimmage, more than any other player.
Robinson is averaging 135.1 scrimmage yards per game and has scored six touchdowns on the ground and three through the air. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris described Robinson as “absolutely a phenomenal player” and noted his exceptional performance all year long.
Lindstrom’s Consistent Play
Chris Lindstrom, an anchor on the right side of the offensive line, has helped Robinson achieve these impressive statistics. Despite missing 10 out of 980 possible offensive snaps this season, Lindstrom continues to be a key player for the Falcons.
Lindstrom’s snap count ranks fifth among all right guards according to Pro Football Focus (PFF), and he currently holds an 85.9 overall grade, which includes 66.2 in pass blocking and 90.2 in run blocking. He has only allowed one sack this season, tied for the fewest among all full-timers within his position group.
Alternates Named
Besides Robinson and Lindstrom, Kyle Pitts Sr., a tight end, is listed as the No. 2 alternate, while A.J. Terrell Jr., a cornerback, is the No. 4 alternate for the Falcons. The Pro Bowl selections were based on votes from players, coaches, and fans.
For the fourth consecutive year, the game will be played in a new format featuring flag football rather than tackle football.
The main event, along with skill competitions to highlight players’ athletic abilities, is scheduled for February 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The Falcons have now had 84 players chosen since the Pro Bowl’s inception in 1951. With Robinson and Lindstrom joining this elite group, their contributions to the team are undeniable. The NFL has a long history of recognizing top performers through its Pro Bowl selections, making these honors well-deserved for both players.
