Robinson carried the football 271 times for 1,343 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, adding 35 receptions for 296 yards and two receiving touchdowns through 14 game appearances as a senior in 2021, per Sports Reference. He had 2,704 rushing yards on 545 attempts and 29 rushing touchdowns, adding 52 receptions for 446 yards and two receiving touchdowns through his five collegiate seasons.
"Brian Robinson Jr. is a redshirt senior that had seen limited action due to the stable of talented running backs Alabama has had such as Najee Harris, Damien Harris, and Josh Jacobs," wrote Keith Sanchez of The Draft Network. "The 2021 season was the first season that Robinson was penciled in as the starter and his production elevated. Throughout the 2021 season, Robinson was able to rush for more than 1,000 yards with his best performance coming against Ole Miss, where rushed for 170 yards and four touchdowns.
"Robinson is a running back that requires a high volume of touches to really impact a football game. He is a one-cut back that can get vertical and use his power to run through arm tackles. One of Robinson's best traits is his pass protection. In pass pro, Robinson is able to quickly and effectively pick up blitzing defenders. Overall, Robinson is a short-yardage running back that can consistently gash the defense for short-yardage gains."
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6' 1 5/8" and 225-pound Robinson had a 40-time of 4.53 seconds, a vertical jump of 30 inches, and a broad jump of 119 inches. His other measurables include an arm length of 31 7/8 inches and hands measuring 9 3/4 inches.
