What we’ve all been knowing for years

But now he’s on the big stage and very likely will have a chance to lead at the next level. He doesn’t have to be the starting QB to be a leader in the locker room. His offensive skills have been underutilized to this point at UT. If he can get more touches this season he might just show the world how great he really is. (We already knew.)

If Sark is smart, he will find a way to keep him on the field, even when Bijon is on the field as well. He's just too good of an athlete to not be on the field. Last year, when Bijon was healthy, he would maybe be on the field 1 in every 4 positions it seemed like.

I tried to tell his older brother UT would do this to him when he was still in high school. This is classic UT. I wish he’d transfer. Roschon’s too good of a kid for his own good sometimes.

Everyone I talk football with over here in Houston says “that guy is my favorite player for UT” (welcome to the club)

Neat. The second Robinson is fast but also very small and seemed to have a tendency to turn the ball over.

Author indicated that RJ would be a early round nfl pick too and needs touches!

 

[IndianFan]

If RJ had focused on playing at RB in high school, he’d be further along than he is.
Call me biased but other than Bijan Robinson’s ability to change direction so fluidly, I’d take RJ all day every day. Roschon has a lot of attributes that the NFL wants.

I can respect that. This dates me, but for myself, Jeff 'The Jet' Bergeron will always be my favorite PN-G player of all time.

Roschon was carted off the field after a non contact injury today.

 

[IndianFan]

OB is saying it’s a mild sprain and he’s in a boot. Waiting on official diagnosis to be shared.

Same thing happened to him in high school his senior year.

A comment from OB:

"Roschon's brother posts on IT.

He says he's walking on it and hoping its a sprain (ankle)."

Too bad RJ's brother doesn't have any love for the PN-G Indian fans who adamantly support Roschon. Would be great if he could update us here.

Can’t find anything official, but the unofficial word appears to be out 4-6 weeks with high ankle sprain. Was apparently feared to be much worse at time of injury. Two of the other injured players appear to be out for season.

This is the pits. RJ has been a constant force and contributor, setting the standard for work and efort. Now he's going to lose probably half a season of production, and knowing how UT operates, he may not even get the playing time when he returns. If that plays out, this is the last year I support Texas. He could always redshirt this year or take his extra covid year and come back as the starter in 2023.
