Bijan Robinson should be taken by Philadelphia with the fifth pick in the draft. There is a time and a place.
Bijan Robinson, one of the most prolific running backs in Texas history, will not play in the Valero Alamo Bowl and will enter the NFL draft.
Robinson said that he had done everything he could to fulfill God's plan for him. It's time to move forward. I'm looking forward to figuring out another part of my life, just like I did here.
Robinson, a Tucson, Arizona native, leaves Austin fourth on the all-time rushing list at Texas with his 3,410 career yards. He won the Doak Walker award as the best running back in college football and became the first Texas player with back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons since Vince Young in 2004.
He talked about how Campbell invited him to his house when he first arrived and how Williams was a big brother to him.
Robinson said it was a blessing to be a part of the line. All the kids look up to a guy like me. I want to leave that legacy.
Robinson had six touchdown runs of more than 30 yards this season and ranked second in the country with 1,002 yards after contact. He is considered the top running back in the draft and was projected as the fifth pick by Todd McShay.
After playing in just nine games in the shortened 2020 season and being limited to 10 games last year, Robinson was a key figure in Texas' rebound. Robinson led the nation in combined rushing and receiving yards with 1,894, was second with 20 total touchdown, and led the Big 12 with 131.7 rushing yards and 157.83 all-purpose yards per game.
Robinson said it was smart to keep the wheels on when it came to going to the NFL. This was the right time to do that.
Robinson finished his high school career as Arizona's all-time leader in rushing yards and touchdown and was the first player in state history to have three consecutive 2,000-yard seasons.
Robinson said he will start training for the draft in January.
