Former Texas Longhorns running back Bijan Robinson spent two seasons under coach Steve Sarkisian.
“Man, it was so much fun. Like just having him as not necessarily a father figure but like an older brother to come and actually coach me and take me in,”“What was cool, was like me and Sark; I was with him for the raise of what he has now. Those struggles that we went through… and now seeing him be respected around the whole college football around, everybody that knows football, it’s pretty sick.
Robinson has been battling an ankle injury this offseason, but told reporters that he feels "great" as he returned to practice earlier than expected last week. “I feel great,” Robinson said. “I know that I had to continue to rehab it and just get comfortable being back to myself. But it’s good. It’s good to be back on the field with the guys.”
Robinson and the Falcons will kickoff their regular season on Sunday, Sept. 8 at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This will come one day after Sarkisian and the Longhorns will visit the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor for a highly-anticipated non-conference battle on Saturday, Sept. 8.
