Former Alabama RB Brian Robinson enjoys first marquee outing of pro career

Every Alabama fan and Washington Commanders fan was all smiles on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

Brian Robinson Jr., a Crimson Tide alum, had a life-changing moment in late August. He got shot multiple times in the lower body during an attempted robbery, and things could have easily gone bad for him. As a native of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Robinson endured the mishap, had surgery, and is showing the Commanders why he was the best move for them in the NFL Draft.

He captured a milestone moment for a running back versus the Falcons. Robinson recorded the first 100-yard rushing performance of his career in Washington’s 19-13 victory.
