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.
