It has become the 19-yard second-quarter run heard round the world.

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson's brief jaunt on a pitchout with 11:25 left in the first half of Atlanta's 25-24 win over the Packers Sunday didn't mean much on its own. However, the run demonstrated the shiftiness that encouraged the Falcons to make Robinson the eighth overall pick in April's draft.

His burgeoning highlight reel, combined with an 124-yard outing in Atlanta's second win of the season, has made Robinson an increasingly popular name in Georgia and beyond.

That was further proven true Wednesday, as an alternate overhead angle of Robinson's run drew eyeballs across the country.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport endorsed the video and its unorthodox camerawork, writing, "A camera person on the roof is the only way to go."

Some fans had fun with the video in light of Freddie Falcon's past zip-lining gymnastics.

Many marveled at the fact Robinson is a mere rookie, just one year removed from an All-American season at Texas.

A few compared Robinson's moves to their own.

The popularity of the camera angle had fans wondering whether it could be applied to other sports and athletes as well.

The Falcons, surrounded by a decent degree of buzz, will visit the Lions Sunday afternoon in an attempt to move to 3-0 on the year.
