Both backs delivered elite 2025 production and shape as franchise cornerstones entering negotiation windows.
Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, both 24-year-old fourth-year running backs, head into potential contract extensions off career seasons. Robinson rushed for 1,478 yards and 7 touchdowns on 287 carries for Atlanta; Gibbs ran for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns on 243 carries for Detroit, ranking among the league's most efficient and productive backs.
The pairing underscores the premium attached to elite young talent at a position historically prone to injury and decline. Both backs have demonstrated durability, dual-threat upside, and bell-cow usage—production that historically sustains through the second contract cycle.
