Running back Brian Robinson plays for the National Football League’s Washington Commanders. The Commanders selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft after he twice represented Alabama in the CFP National Championship game.
Robinson was shot twice during an attempted carjacking as he was leaving a restaurant prior to the start of his rookie season. More than a month later, he returned to the team.
Robinson Jr. was born on March 22, 1999, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Four-star recruit Robinson decided to play for the University of Alabama. The Washington Commanders selected Brian Robinson in the third round (98th overall) of the 2022 NFL Draft.
As a freshman, Robinson rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns as a backup behind Najee Harris and Josh Jacobs as Alabama went on to win the 2018 CFP National Championship Game.
He rushed for 990 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior at Hillcrest High School, where he was named to the second-team Class 6A All-State.
On May 18, 2022, he agreed to a four-year rookie contract. Robinson missed the first four games of the season before playing in his first NFL game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5. He scored his first career goal against the Chicago Bears the following week.
Who Are Brian Robinson’s Parents?
Brian Robinson Jr.’s mother is Kimberly Little, and his father is Brian Robinson Sr. Kimberly Little, Brian Robinson Jr.’s wonderful mother, has always stood by him. She defended him in high school when other parents asked to see his birth certificate because he was too big.
She was stiff and unafraid to take action, which led her family and friends to jokingly refer to her as Madea (from Tyler Perry’s flicks).
When he didn’t get the starting position, Kimberly, who works with her patients in a nearby psychiatric hospital, encouraged him to try harder. She supported him while he was considering leaving Alabama.
