While the Jacksonville Jaguars don’t quite have the record that fans were hoping for at this point in the season, there has been one player to consistently show up every game and that’s rookie running back James Robinson. In the Jags’ first three games, the undrafted phenom has managed to garner 330 total yards (210 rushing) and three touchdowns and the NFL has taken notice, naming him their Offensive Rookie of the Month for September.

Robinson, 22, has put up historic figures since becoming the Jags’ RB1, becoming the only undrafted player in NFL history to accumulate at least 300 scrimmage yards and multiple touchdowns through three career games. At the rate he’s playing, he’ll only continue to make history as the season goes on as he’s been one of the most interesting players of the 2020 NFL Draft class to watch.
With Robinson acquiring the award, it marks the second consecutive time that the Jags have had a player become Rookie of the Month to open the season. Last September, quarterback Gardner Minshew II was able to win the award, too, after having to replace veteran Nick Foles Week 1.
Robinson is the eighth Jaguar to become Rookie of the Month in team history. He also joined Fred Taylor as the only two running backs in team history to win the award and there could be many more to come if Robinson remains consistent.
