Former Salpointe Catholic High school star running back Bijan Robinson could possibly become the highest-selected Tucson native in NFL Draft history.
Justin Spears KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jokingly, Bijan Robinson wagged his finger through the cook window at Raising Cane’s and demanded the fry cooks to hustle and get several orders of chicken tenders, fries and toast out to hungry customers.
The former Salpointe Catholic High School star will most likely become the third Tucson native selected in the first round of the NFL Draft, joining ex-Lancer offensive lineman John Fina, who was selected by the Buffalo Bills at No. 27 overall in 1992, and former Tucson High defensive lineman Mike Dawson, who was taken 22nd overall by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1976.
Focused, giftedRobinson’s granduncle, Paul Robinson, was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968 and was named the AFL Rookie of the Year. He molded into a two-time Pro Bowler, but “Bijan is a greater athlete than all of us,” Cleo Robinson said. The speed was inherited from Robinsons before him, but what separated Bijan from most young football players was his feel for the game.
“With the NIL stuff, Bijan was like, ‘I’m more concerned with football and school. That NIL stuff, you guys handle that stuff. Just give me the support for it,’ “ Cleo Robinson said. “So I don’t see a change in personality or a change in attitude toward the money he’s receiving and so forth. I’m confident he’ll remain the same person.”
God’s planThe team that chooses Robinson remains uncertain. He is projected as high as No. 8 to the Atlanta Falcons, No. 21 to the Los Angeles Chargers or No. 27 to the Buffalo Bills.
