[QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5104635, member: 549"] Kid’s got an incredible personality: [MEDIA=twitter]1850545297312682106[/MEDIA] -> “You just opened a funny story,” Robinson said. “When I was 5 years old, I was crying at practice. I love football to death, but I would always cry for some reason. And they called my mother down one day and they said, ‘Your son keeps crying. What’s up with your son? What’s up with your son?’ She said, ‘Okay, I’ll handle that.’ “… And I got four big brothers. As soon as we got home, my mother said, ‘put your equipment on.’ I said, ‘why, Ma? practice is over.’ She said, ‘if you’re going to keep crying, I’m going to give you something to cry for.’ My big brother Jabrill, he’s three years older than me, that’s a big difference at that point. She said, ‘run into ‘Rell as hard as you can.’ And my brother ran me smooth over, my helmet came off, I was on the ground crying, I was embarrassed. Then my mother said, ‘you’re alive, right?’ And I’m like, ‘dang, yeah, I’m alive.’ And from that point forward, I’m like, ‘damn, if I can take a hit from him, I can run through anything.’ And I’ve been that way ever since. Ever since.” <- -> “When Durell got here, he had a certain type of energy, enthusiasm to him,” Mora said, “and then as he started to learn our scheme, you’d see in practice he started breaking (runs). The things that are impressive, obviously, the long ones, but the determination on some of those runs where he’s grinding it out and pulling people to get the first down, or staying in bounds and trying to deliver blows downfield. He’s a talented young man. Our team feeds off his energy.” <- [/QUOTE]
