Brian Robinson Jr.
RB

4-year career, three near-800-yd seasons on WAS, then a 92-carry backup role on SF in 2025.

Career line: 662 carries, 2,729 yards, 17 TDs in 58 REG games. 4.12 YPC — just under the 4.37 league RB baseline.

Why it matters. A clean career-rate snapshot — RB2-tier efficiency with a TD-per-3.4-games scoring rate.
Robinson's 8 rushing TDs led WAS in their 12-5 NFC Championship year. Daniels (6) and McNichols/Ekeler (4 each) trailed.

| Player | Pos | TDs |
|---|---|---|
| Brian Robinson Jr. | RB | 8 |
| Jayden Daniels | QB | 6 |
| Jeremy McNichols | RB | 4 |
| Austin Ekeler | RB | 4 |
Why it matters. He was the goal-line workhorse on a contender — a clear team-leading role, not just volume.
He was shot in the leg in August 2022 — and was back on the field by Week 5 of his rookie year.

Why it matters. It's one of the fastest returns from a gunshot injury in NFL history, and frames everything that came after.
Two playoff trips: NFC Championship with WAS in 2024, Divisional Round with SF in 2025.

Why it matters. Both his teams reached the playoffs in back-to-back years, but his postseason role flipped from lead back (WAS) to backup behind CMC (SF).
His 92 carries in 2025 were less than half of 2024's — not because of his team's struggles, but because he was the backup to Christian McCaffrey on a 12-5 SF.

Why it matters. The volume drop has nothing to do with offensive collapse — SF went 12-5 with him on the roster. It's pure depth-chart math: CMC took 311 carries to his 92.
