Texas' Bijan Robinson says versatility creates 'high value'

INDIANAPOLIS -- Texas running back Bijan Robinson knows the math may be against him, but he said there should be no hesitation about selecting him early in the first round of the upcoming NFL draft.

Robinson, who won the Doak Walker Award as the nation's best running back, said if it makes the league's decision-makers feel better, they should just call him a player who can "create mismatches all over the field," even if it means lining him up at wide receiver.

"First of all, I feel like if you're a guy who can do all three for your offense, I think that's a very special quality for a player,'' Robinson said Saturday at the NFL scouting combine.
