GREEN BAY, Wis.: Bijan Robinson powered the Atlanta Falcons to a 35 to 14 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday, September 24. He carried 29 times for 194 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, then added two catches for 19 yards. The 194-yard rushing total was one yard short of his 195-yard career best from Week 17 of 2025. His 213 scrimmage yards included a 55-yard run that set up his 3-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7.
The win came four days after Atlanta lost 34 to 3 to Carolina at home on Sunday, September 20. Robinson had 16 carries for 72 yards and three catches for 9 yards in that game. He also reached 4,000 career rushing yards before age 25 in his 53rd game, one game faster than William Andrews reached the mark for the franchise.
The game result puts Robinson’s on-field impact in the spotlight. His Drip With Diggs interview traces his personal style back to childhood and the jewelry he wore before reaching the NFL.
From Atlanta to Green Bay
The interview was conducted by Erica Diggs for Drip With Diggs inside the Atlanta Falcons locker room in Atlanta after the September 20 Panthers game. It was not conducted after the September 24 Packers game. Speaking in Atlanta, Robinson did not hesitate when asked which piece of jewelry he cannot leave home without.
A Fast Start to an NFL Career
Atlanta selected Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft after his career at Texas, where he won the 2022 Doak Walker Award. He made the Pro Bowl in 2024 and 2025, earned first-team AP All-Pro honors at running back in 2025, and led the NFL with 2,298 scrimmage yards that season. He was ranked No. 3 in the NFL Top 100 for 2026.
His football rise provides the backdrop to a jewelry story that began in middle school.
The Earrings He Has Worn Since Middle School
“I’ve been wearing earrings since I was in middle school,” Robinson said. “So I like to wear earrings.”
The Falcons running back said he enjoys both solitaire studs and other earring styles. For him, earrings are also the category where quality matters most. He explained that he prefers real jewelry in his ears because he does not want to risk irritation or damage from lesser materials.
That answer revealed something bigger than a simple style preference. Before the larger chains and the spotlight that came with the NFL, earrings were already part of Robinson’s identity.
The Draft Night Chain
When the conversation turned to his first major jewelry purchase after reaching the professional level, Robinson pointed to the chain he wore for the 2023 NFL Draft.
“I think it was my chain that I had for the draft,” he said. “That was my first real piece that I bought.”
Robinson said the piece came through his jeweler Leo. The chain marked a defining moment in his life, but it was more than a finishing touch for draft night. It represented the transition from a college football star at Texas to the eighth overall pick in the NFL Draft.
For many athletes, jewelry becomes a visible record of achievement. A first major chain can hold the memory of the contract, the celebration and the moment a lifelong goal became real. Robinson’s draft night piece carries that kind of meaning.
Style That Comes From the Locker Room
Robinson was also asked which NFL player, past or present, had the best drip or influenced his own sense of style. He named former Falcons teammate KhaDarel Hodge, who is now with another team, and said Hodge’s drip helped shape his own.
That influence matters. NFL style is often discussed through arrivals, designer labels and expensive jewelry, but players also build their tastes by watching one another. The locker room can function as its own fashion ecosystem, where teammates exchange ideas about watches, chains, clothing and presentation.
Robinson’s answers traced a clear progression: earrings he has worn since middle school, a draft night chain that marked his arrival in the NFL, and style lessons picked up from someone close enough to influence him directly.
The jewelry may have grown with the platform, but the personal connection came first.
