"Once Brian Robinson Jr. made his 49ers practice debut Monday next to Christian McCaffrey, then Robinson made a promise that could resonate around the NFL. My job right now is just to complement him the best way I can, Robinson said, and we're going to be the best duo in the league. Coach Kyle Shanahan's run-oriented scheme should help that quest, and he told Robinson as much after trading for him from the Washington Commanders for a conditional sixth-round draft pick."
"Shanahan said after Saturday's preseason finale that Robinson will serve as the 49ers' No. 2 running back, rather than second-year rusher Isaac Guerendo. I see opportunities for myself regardless. I know C-Mac is going to do his thing, and I'm going to do my thing, for sure, Robinson said. Like I told Mr. Lynch before I got here, I respect everybody in the room and I respect C-Mac."
Brian Robinson Jr. joined the San Francisco 49ers after a trade from the Washington Commanders for a conditional sixth-round pick. He pledged to complement Christian McCaffrey and compete to form a top backfield duo within Kyle Shanahan's run-oriented offense. The 49ers may rely more heavily on the running game while Brandon Aiyuk recovers from knee surgery and Jauan Jennings misses practice because of a calf issue and/or contract matters. Shanahan named Robinson the No. 2 running back over Isaac Guerendo. Robinson emphasized respect for teammates, competitiveness, and readiness to contribute after being Washington's primary back.
