The former fifth-round draft pick has scored a career-high six rushing touchdowns so far this season.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Head coach Raheem Morris called running back Tyler Allgeier the least talked about superstar on the Atlanta Falcons.

And he very well might be.

Allgeier is tied with wide receiver Drake London for most touchdowns scored by a Falcons player this season. Allgeier has six rushing. London has six receiving.

London has definitely been talked about more than Allgeier, at least in an external capacity. Internally, Allgeier sets his own standard for the team.

"He's one of those guys that just comes to work every day and does his job," Morris said. "We talk about these operational executions, these operations pieces, and it's just what Tyler is. Wherever you put him, whatever you ask him to do, he's able to go out there and have that resiliency and that toughness. He's able to just play the game, play the play whatever it is and be ready to go. That's why we love him."

It's tricky for Allgeier to be the most talked-about superstar when he shares a position room with Bijan Robinson, who not only leads the Falcons in yards from scrimmage but also ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,146. Robinson has scored two rushing and two receiving touchdowns. He's an asset in both phases of offense.

So is Allgeier. Just in a different way.

"Pass protection," Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said. "He's super stout in there."

Unfortunately for Allgeier, pass protection doesn't make the stat sheet.

What does, though, are those six touchdowns a career high for the former fifth-round draft pick from 2022. What's more, five of those scores have come inside the red zone. He had his second-ever multi-touchdown game last Sunday in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, scoring twice from 1 yard out. Allgeier overall has had 74 carries for 270 yards this season, an average of 3.6 yards per carry and 30 yards per game.

Along with stout, Zac described Allgeier as strong and powerful but also something less obvious.

"He is very patient," Zac said. "Then, when he sees it, I mean, his shoulders are square to the line of scrimmage and he's able to hit it. He's one of the more instinctive (backs) just in terms of his vision and what he can see and how to set up his first-level blocks ultimately for the second level that I've been around."

Visibly, Allgeier runs differently than Bijan, too. Bijan is known for being elusive. Allgeier is normally more so referenced as a ram, bulldozer or bowling ball though he doesn't have a preference.

Basically, he's very difficult to stop once he gets going.

"That's just the running style that I have," Allgeier said. "I pride myself on not getting tackled by one guy. If they do, shoot, it's a really super, really good tackle."

His teammates love to see opponents try.

"You see him pick them knees up," Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. said. "If he's on the corner, he's going to drop his shoulder and punish you."
