Ray Fittipaldo, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports San Francisco 49ers RB Michael Robinson said he will embrace his role as a running back.
Robinson added, "I won't resist the chance because I understand the way the world works. I think for you to be successful on any level you have to be a football player first.
