The Washington Commanders are enjoying what they have in Brian Robinson Jr.
As a third-round pick of the NFL Draft, the Tuscaloosa native has stood out in offseason workouts for Washington.
He looked noticeably bigger in rookie minicamp, OTAs, and mandatory minicamp. Robinson is battling two players, Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic, to get action on the field as a rookie. All three running backs have different skill sets, but Robinson is the “most natural” player at the position. Peter Hailey, a Commanders reporter for NBC Sports Washington, highlights Robinson as someone who can manipulate linebackers in pass protection and is drawing praise from running backs coach Randy Jordan.
