While fans are excited about Ryan stepping into a front office role, his hiring overshadowed the Falcons&#8217; four NFL All-Pro selections from the AP.<\/p>\n<p>Running back Bijan Robinson was named to the All-Pro first team after his incredible 2025 season. Robinson rushed for 1,478 yards and seven touchdowns, adding 78 receptions for 820 receiving yards and another four scores. The third-year running back was the heartbeat of the Falcons offense this season. <\/p>\n<p>Three of Robinson&#8217;s teammates were named to the All-Pro second team for 2025. Tight end Kyle Pitts, right guard Chris Lindstrom and safety Jessie Bates received second-team honors on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>Pitts, who&#8217;s set to become a free agent in a couple of months, finished with 88 receptions for 928 receiving yards and five touchdowns. It was Pitts&#8217; best season since his rookie year in 2021. <\/p>\n<p>Lindstrom has been a steady presence along the team&#8217;s offensive line since being drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The veteran guard started all 17 games this season and continued to dominate as a run blocker.<\/p>\n<p>Bates also appears in all 17 games, recording 98 tackles (57 solo), three interceptions, and one pick-six. The playmaking safety has been a welcome addition to Atlanta&#8217;s secondary over the last three seasons. His presence helped in the development of rookie safety Xavier Watts.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>-Follow along with the team&#8217;s head coach and GM search with our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/falcons-interview-tracker-every-named-233247257.html\">Falcons interview tracker<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on Falcons Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefalconswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/falcons\/2026\/01\/10\/falcons-all-pro-bijan-robinson\/88118092007\/\">Atlanta Falcons: Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts named to All-Pro team<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/four-atlanta-falcons-players-named-183819560.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/four-atlanta-falcons-players-named-183819560.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Falcons have had a busy 24 hours, officially naming Matt Ryan the team&#8217;s new president of football on Saturday morning.
