Michael Robinson on pal Jay Ajayi: What he does well, running disrespected and more

Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi is “one of the premier shotgun runners in our league,” according to NFL Network’s Michael Robinson, who become sort of an unofficial tutor for Ajayi.

Robinson said the two met when Ajayi visited NFL Network a few months back.

“I actually offered a little criticism from what I saw on film,” said Robinson, who had an eight-year NFL career before becoming an analyst. “And to his credit, he was like, 'OK, you're for real. You really watch film, because I was thinking the same thing.' We got to talking running backs and football, and he knew what I did in college as a quarterback, and knew what I did in the league, and we kind of developed a little bit of a friendship.
