ASHBURN, Va. — Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. dealt with getting shot, undergoing knee surgery and a rookie season that unfolded in a way he never anticipated.
Now, he and the Commanders hope, the NFL must deal with the player he said he can be. «People should expect a lot of great things to come compared to the things I did limping around all last year,» he said. «I feel night and day from last year.
I feel more like myself every day.» Robinson was shot twice in his leg while going out to dinner in Washington, D.C., in the early evening with a friend on Aug.
28. Police said it was an attempted carjacking/robbery. Robinson was shot in his right knee and hip, but he was able to wrestle the gun away from one of his assailants.
