Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had a career day during Sunday’s win over the New York Giants. The third-year running back rushed for a career-high 133 yards on 17 attempts, averaging almost eight yards per rush.
Robinson was unstoppable every time he touched the football. On one run, it appeared the former Alabama star was stopped at the line of scrimmage for no gain, but he somehow escaped and ran for a huge gain.
Robinson’s previous career high was 105 rushing yards against the Atlanta Falcons during his 2022 rookie season.

Many predicted a breakout season for Robinson in 2024. With Jayden Daniels at quarterback and fellow running back Austin Ekeler sharing the backfield with him, the stage is set for Robinson to go over 1,000 yards rushing for the first time in his young NFL career.
