Gibbs has 676 total yards on 121 touches averaging 5.6 yards a touch

Bijan has 820 total yards with 5.3 a touch.

Gibbs has been on a tear since returning from injury averaging 142 total yards the last 3 games. It took him a few weeks to get up to nfl speed and it looks like he’s taken off, his game breaking speed, recieving ability, ability to take hits and is among the top of the league in broken tackles.

Bijan has looked fantastic too. Unreal agility and elusiveness, pass catching ability, and has shown he can be a bell cow too. But he doesn’t have the top speed that Gibbs possesses, and he might not be in the best spot in Atlanta

Going into the draft it was looked at as Bijan was a generational running back, kind of a Saquon kind of back, and Gibbs was more of a 10-15 touches a game outside the tackles speed back, and will never be a workhorse or carry a load.

I think the view on him has changed. I know it’s very early in his career but Gibbs looks to be showing very similar flashes to guys like Jamaal Charles, and Chris Johnson.

Bijan was picked 8th Gibbs was taken 12th. Who would you rather have regardless of draft position and who do you think will end up being the better player?

Bijan pretty easily
