A few days later in Week 6, he found the endzone for the first time in his NFL career versus the Chicago Bears.The running back spoke about questioning whether he'd ever play football again after being shot.&quot;My passion for this game runs so deep. I never thought I’d be in a situation where I had to question or be questioned about if I could return to playing football.&quot;The running back added:“Once the doctors told me I’d be able to play ball again, my mind automatically clicked into what I needed to do to get myself back on the football field.”Robinson Jr. was drafted in the third round of this year's NFL draft. He rushed for 1,343 yards and 14 touchdowns on 271 carries in the 2021-22 college football season. His carries were the fifth-most in college football that season while leading the SEC in rushing touchdowns.So far in the 2022-23 NFL season, Brian Robinson Jr. has rushed for 175 yards on 54 carries and a touchdown.
