Potential Buffalo Bills Day 2 Draft Target #2:  Brian Robinson

The next on the never-ending list of Alabama running backs, Robinson is cut from the old school cloth. A quick, not fast RB (4.53 40-time at the combine), Robinson is a true three-down back with the ability to block and catch as well.

Similar to Cook, Robinson did not see a ton of touches initially, as he sat behind the likes of Najee Harris, Josh Jacobs, Damien Harris, and Bo Scarbrough. He did break out in 2021 as a solo act, as he totaled 1,639 yards from scrimmage (1,343 rushing yards, 296 receiving) and 16 total scores as a senior.

Robinson is a guy the Bills may even be able to nab in the third round if the running backs continue to slide as they have. But either way, Robinson could also be a compliment to Singletary and Johnson, possibly giving the Bills a hard-nosed, traditional early-down option.
