If you've followed Bijan Robinson for any length of his career, you've probably been saying his name wrong. But its OK, you're definitely not alone.
Sitting down with the NFL Network during at Falcons training camp on Saturday, Atlanta's Pro Bowl RB finally gave the football world the correct pronunciation of his first name which to this point has been pronounced "bee-ZHAHN" rather than the correct "bih-zhawn."

Needless to say fans were shook on X:
"Bruh who knew," a user replied.
"It's pronounced 'touch-down,'" another commented.
"so we've been seasoning it wrong this whole time too?" a fan asked.
"So it's designer pronunciation with RB1 production. Got it," another person said.
"We sticking with Beejan," another user posted.
"How do we all go years without knowing this?"
"No. When it's gone on this long it is his name," another fan stated.
"I love stuff like this and Bijan is a good person for rolling with years of people mispronouncing his name," another account shared. "Too bad so few folks bothered to ask [Tyrod] Taylor who to say his name properly."
"The more you know...."
No matter the pronunciation, the jersey with No. 7 and "Robinson" on the back is quickly becoming one of the league's best. Last season, Bijan rushed for 1,456 yards and 14 touchdowns with another 431 catching the ball out of the backfield.
And he even earned some extremely high praise from Eagles running back Saquon Barkley on this year's NFL Top 100 countdown:
"There's nobody who's able to cut like Bijan in the NFL," Barkley said. "There's not. You can go argue with your mom about that, I'll be honest. Trust me — I love myself and I think I have great cuts... The way he's able to — it's gonna get scary for a lot of people as he continues to figure it out."
