RB Brian Robinson Jr. | 'I have even a bigger opportunity to catch the ball'

8.1.robinson.presser_1.mp4

On what he likes about the offense:
"I feel like this offense is very versatile. We can do many, many different things. We have several different weapons that can do several different things. We have a versatile minded offensive coordinator [Kliff Kingsbury], he's creative. He tries to find ways to get his best players involved. And I'm just excited to see how this offense can just take this next step over the next week of camp."

On what he's learned from RB Austin Ekeler:
"Austin, he's a pro's pro. He shows up to work every day. He's locked in, he's focused, he tries to find every way to hold the guys around him accountable. I've been learning a few steps from him in the pass the game and he's just been a real big help for me and what I want to do this season. And I expect us to have a great year together."

On what he likes the most about offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury:
"The versatility, I guess. He plans to make sure we have a balanced offense, he emphasizes that. Just, making sure he balances the run and the pass and also keep it versatile. So, it's very exciting. It's an exciting offense to be a part of, I'm just excited to see him take that next step."

On how Kingsbury will be able to use his versatility:
"I feel like I'll just continue to be able to elevate my passing game. I had an opportunity to show that this is still one of my strong suits, and with Kliff coming in, I have even a bigger opportunity to catch the ball more and show more of what I can do in the passing game."

On what he's seen from QB Jayden Daniels:
"He's just being where his feet at. He's poised, he's a hard worker, he comes to work every day, just looking to take that next step and improve, and he's done that every single day. He's come in here, he's gotten better. So, we expect him to continue to take those steps leading into week one and I'm very excited for him going to his rookie season."

On what he's seen from the offensive line:
"I feel like they're getting on the same page. They're finding ways to play alongside each other, and they just got to continue to work on their crafts and we're just now kind of getting the pads cracking. So, they just got to emphasize getting off the ball and coming downhill. And I feel like when they're at their best, they do that very, very well. So, they just got to kind of keep that in the back of their head and just stay focused on what we want to accomplish."
On what differences him and RB Austin Ekeler bring to the backfield:
"I feel like we can do all the same things. He's a great runner, I can run any scheme in the game. He's a versatile pass catcher out of the back field, I can do the same thing as well. So, I'm not going to say we can have two completely similar games, we can kind of do all of the same things. He's a little smaller frame, a little bit more twitchy-er than I am. I'm just probably more aggressive and physical in the run game than him. But, I feel like we carry all the same abilities as a running back."

On how a pass catching running back can help QB Jayden Daniels:
"I feel like it'll help him tremendously. Just knowing that he always has an option in the running backs. Anytime me or Austin are in the game, it shouldn't be a problem for him to find us, or check down to us, or find us in the pass game just as much as he can find a receiver. We just got to continue to build that confidence in him to trust us with our pass catching and I feel like we've been doing a great job with that."
