Bijan Robinson compares coach Kevin Stefanski to Martin Luther King Jr

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson drew widespread attention after comparing head coach Kevin Stefanski’s locker room speech to an address by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The comparison followed a Week 2 loss to the Carolina Panthers, which prompted an impassioned speech from Stefanski intended to motivate the team.

The speech appeared to resonate, as the Falcons secured a 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. Robinson delivered a standout performance during the win, recording 194 rushing yards and two touchdowns, contributing to a total of 213 yards.

When asked about the comparison, Stefanski offered a humorous response, noting, “I don’t think Dr. King used as many f-bombs as I did.”
