We've all been pronouncing Bijan Robinson's name wrong, says the Falcons star image

Bijan Robinson's name doesn't sound the way you think it does.

Most of the NFL world has been saying Robinson's first name just a bit wrong since he entered the league.

The Atlanta Falcons' star clarified in an interview Saturday that it isn't pronounced "B-john." It's pronounced with more emphasis on the second syllable.

This is important stuff. Robinson is one of the best running backs in the NFL, a true dual threat.

He's also an automatic first-round pick in fantasy football leagues.

So when you draft Robinson, be sure to get his name right.
