Jaguars running back Denard Robinson spoke to reporters on Thursday for the first time since his single-car accident on July 3 when he drove his Chevrolet Impala into a Southside retention pond.
Robinson fell asleep at the wheel.
“I feel blessed, because it could have been a situation where I wasn’t talking to you right now,” Robinson said. “The situation could’ve been way worse. I could’ve hurt somebody or killed somebody, so I’m truly blessed that nothing happened to nobody. I came out with no scratches and my passenger was the same way.”
The responding officers helped Robinson and his passenger, Marissa Staples, out of the car after having trouble waking them both up as the car was partially submerged.
