Unlike Jerome Ford, Brian Robinson stayed at Alabama through the thick of it, warming the bench behind NFL Stars, Najee Harris, Bo Scarbrough, Damien Harris, Josh Jacobs, Jalen Hurts, and for two seasons Jerome Ford.The fifth season was the charm for Robinson, a 6'1 228lb human tank who totaled over 1,600 all-purpose yards and 306 touches in 2021, 15 more than he had the previous four years combined.
Before stepping foot in Bryant-Denny Stadium for the Tide, Brian Robinson was running over adolescents every Friday night, right in Tuscaloosa, AL at Hillcrest High School, including a 29 carry, 447 yard, 4 touchdown performance to set the Alabama High School state record during Week 1 of his Senior Season.
Entering the 2021 College Football season, Brian Robinson was considered the Top running back among NFL circles.

Brian Robinson was selected in the 3rd round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders. Not offering anything elite, Robinson is just going to be annoying to everyone else on this team.
