Brian Robinson Selected in the 3rd Round by the Washington Commanders in the 2022 NFL Draft

What an amazing transformation for Crimson Tide running back Brian Robinson. We here at RBR must admit we were concerned that the super-senior would be taking snaps away from other young backs such as Jase McClellan, Trey Sanders, and Roydell Williams. Well, he did and we are glad for it.

The Tuscaloosa native spent his first four seasons as a back-up and short yardage specialist. He waited his turn as now-NFL starters Damien Harris, Josh Jacobs, and Najee Harris took the majority of the snaps. In 2020, Harris had an incredible season as McClellan and Williams showed flashes of greatness at times.
