Brian Robinson Jr. feels back to normal a year after being shot in an attempted robbery that altered his rookie season.
got a chance to ramp up once he made his pro debut, splitting carries with Gibson before taking over as the No. 1 back."I think he is coming in with a whole different perspective," coach Ron Rivera said."Last year, he was a wide-eyed rookie and went through a very traumatic situation very early and just never really got a chance to enjoy it and show his personality to who he really is.
"Not only can he run it, but he for sure can catch it — and on top of that, he does a heck of a job stepping up in protection," Bieniemy said last week."We want the most complete football player ... at every position to be their best. It helps tremendously when you have a player and a person like that that’s willing to do it all."Rivera this summer has noticed a more mature version of Robinson than a year ago, acknowledging there’s still room for growth.
"He’s still learning," Rivera said."But there’s a lot of promise. There’s a lot of excitement right now." Robinson said he can do anything in the playbook, including catching the ball out of the backfield. He considers the next step in his progression to be breaking off game-changing runs of 50-plus yards and getting into the end zone after just two touchdowns last season.
"I just don’t want to be one-dimensional, and I don’t want to be just a power back," Robinson said."I want to be able to run routes, run down the field, catch the ball with soft hands and continue to grow my game.Follow your favorites to personalize your FOX Sports experience
