Bijan Robinson reveals the 2 teams he has officially visited
Though Bijan Robinson said he has talked to a lot of teams on Zoom and on calls, he revealed that he has only been to Tampa Bay and Philadelphia for Top-30 visits.
“I understand what people are thinking and what people say,” Robinson said on The Dan Patrick Show. “I believe that any team that gets me, it’s such a blessing, and I know that God’s going to put me in the right position no matter where I’m at.
“I can’t change what people are thinking. A team has where I’m going to be at, and a team knows where I’m going to be at, and if that’s in the top 10 [so be it]. If that’s not, then it’s going to be a blessing in a way. I’m just trying to enjoy the moment. People are going to have opinions. We all don’t know, so we’re all just going to see in a week.”
“But I’ve been talking to like a lot of teams on Zoom and stuff and on calls, but yeah, those are the two places I’ve been,” he said.
Bottom Line: One NFL team is about to land a stud RB
As the NFL has become more of a passing league, the value of running backs in the NFL Draft has plummeted. With that being said, Bijan Robinson is an absolute beast on the field as he can run the ball and catch the ball out of the backfield with the best of them. Though he may not go within the Top 10 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, the team that does pick him will be landing a stud.
