Commanders’ Robinson feels ‘night and day’ a year since being shot in an attempted robbery

ASHBURN, Va. — Brian Robinson Jr.'s introduction to the NFL a year ago was humming along smoothly, with his training camp and preseason performances putting him on course to be the Washington Commanders’ top running back. “I feel night and day from like last year,” Robinson said. People should expect a lot great things to come when you compare all the things I did while I was limping around all year last year.” Robinson, now 24, said he feels more like himself every day — free from some of the lingering issues he dealt with in his right knee and hip from the shooting. “Last year, he was a wide-eyed rookie and went through a very traumatic situation very early and just never really got a chance to enjoy it and show his personality to who he really is.. “Now, folks are going to get to see who he is.” Robinson looks to be one of the keys to Washington’s offense, with unproven second-year pro Sam Howell installed as the starting quarterback and a remade line he’ll need to run behind.
