A Hillcrest High star who moved across town to play at Alabama five years ago is now venturing away from home after his Friday night pick in the NFL draft.
Brian Robinson’s football career has stayed close to home until now. The Hillcrest High star who moved across town to play at Alabama five years ago is now venturing away from home after Friday night pick in the NFL draft.
Robinson is the 13th Alabama running back drafted during the Nick Saban era though he waited a little longer than most of his predecessors. Seven of the 12 previous selections since 2009 went in the first or second round including Najee Harris, the 24th overall pick to the Steelers last spring. Injuries to backups led to Robinson taking 271 of the 547 carries last season. His 1,343 rushing yards dwarfed Trey Sanders’ second-best total of 314 after previous No. 2 options Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams went down with ACL injuries.
