The Illinois State running backs coach made himself quite clear when NFL scouts inquired about tailback James Robinson
“I told those guys he was a starter in the NFL,” Hall said. “I told them he was a difference maker.”
Robinson has been exactly that in a meteoric rise from undrafted free agent to starting tailback for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The two-time FCS All-American ranks eighth in the NFL with 164 yards rushing after two games. Robinson was the first undrafted free agent to start at tailback in an NFL season opener in 30 years.
