Longhorns Daily News: Texas’ Bijan Robinson is being labeled the ‘next Saquon Barkley’

Few NFL Draft prospects get the kind of hype Texas Longhorns alum Bijan Robinson has already received heading into combine season. ESPN analyst Todd McShay gave Robinson some of the highest -praise possible in recent days, comparing him to an existing NFL great.

“My favorite pick in this entire mock draft? Bijan Robinson, running back, to Mel Kiper’s Baltimore Ravens,” McShay said, according to Inside Texas. “… Bijan Robinson, to me, is the next Saquon Barkley. He can do everything you want in terms of forced missed tackles, catch the ball out of the backfield, pass protection.”
