'He Fire,' Bijan Robinson Hypes Kevin Stefanski as Falcons' New HC in Mic'd Up Video at NFL Pro Bowl
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is apparently excited to get to work with newly-hired head coach Kevin Stefanski next season.
While mic'd up during the 2026 Pro Bowl in Santa Clara, Robinson was asked if his team had hired a new head coach.
"Kevin Stefanski. He's fire, bro," Robinson answered around the 0:55 mark of the video.

Robinson continued, "I like him a lot. And his offensive scheme... Tommy Rees, he's the OC, but he'll call the plays."
Stefanski, who regularly called plays for the Cleveland Browns during his last six seasons as the franchise's head coach, said during his introductory press conference that Rees would be calling plays for the Falcons' offense this fall.
"Tommy will call plays," Stefanski said last week. "That's a setup I'm very, very comfortable with."
Stefanski began his final season with the Browns by calling plays before handing over play-calling duties to Rees ahead of Week 10.
The Browns offense ultimately finished the 2025 season ranked 30th in total yards and 31st in points.
Stefanski is hoping to find more success by reassembling the offensive staff that split up ahead of the 2024 season by bringing in former Browns OC Alex Van Pelt, who will now work as the Falcons quarterback coach, as well as offensive line coach Bill Callahan.
Robinson has previously said he's hoping the new-look coaching staff will change the playoff outlook for the Falcons, who have finished consecutive seasons with 8-9 records but haven't made the playoffs since the running back made his NFL debut in 2023.
"We can be a dominant team next year. I think a lot of the players realize that," Robinson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's D. Orlando Ledbetter on Monday. "I think that we're all ready for that change of urgency for us as a team."
About Stefanski, Robinson told Ledbetter: "I'm super excited to have him here. Just his urgency of what he brings. As soon as he got in the building, me and him had a conversation. I'm just really excited for this team and the plans that he has for this team."
The Browns ran a top-rated rushing offense during Stefanski's most successful seasons as head coach from 2020 to 2023, before quarterback struggles contributed to the offense's dip in performance over the past two seasons.
Robinson will hope to see Stefanski return to a run-heavy scheme, whether it's him or Reese ultimately calling plays, when the head coach makes his Falcons debut this fall.
