Two years ago, Brian Robinson Jr. nearly lost his life. We sit down with the starting running back fueling the Commanders’ uprising in D.C. When he blasts through defenders now? “I’m like, ‘I ain’t even feel that shit. I ain’t even feel it!’” Here’s Robinson on the superpower gained from his darkest day.

We touch base with Quintin Morris, a football purist concerned about the state of the game. As he says the NFL has players “by the balls” when it comes to these ridiculous 30-flag games. But it’s not all gloom and doom. Morris details why these Bills are always contenders with Josh Allen and how Amari Cooper changes this offense.
Our Bob McGinn takes you deep into the scouting world this week. T.J. Watt just may be the best player in the sport. So how did he go 30th overall? Especially with a brother already tearing up the NFL? As always, McGinn has the answers. He talks to Dick LeBeau and dusts off a notebook full of scout quotes on the Steelers’ future Hall of Famer.
How did the Commanders get here? I chat with J.P. Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. Jayden Daniels is special, but there’s more at play.
