UCLA Football: Watch Dorian Thompson Robinson Notch First Preseason TD Pass

The former UCLA QB looked great in his first NFL outing

The NFL is back, and as always, it started off with the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio.

This time it featured the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns. The Browns came out on top, 21-16, in a very entertaining game. It's the preseason, so none of the starters played, which meant the backups and depth players had a chance to shine. 

One of the players who most certainly did so was former UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. DTR, a member of the Browns, showcased his skill under center and recorded his first NFL touchdown of his career. 

If you haven't had a chance to check it out, look down below.

DTR did what he did best and threw a dart to Austin Watkins for a 22-yard touchdown. 

Thompson-Robinson had himself a solid game going 8-for-11, threw for 82 yards, one touchdown, and carried the ball six times for 36 yards. 

Quarterback Deshaun Watson will be the QB1 for the Browns, but if DTR can continue to impress, he could be the QB2 for Cleveland. 

We're glad to have football back and especially glad to see former Bruins do their thing at the next level. 

We cannot wait to see what else Thompson-Robinson has up his sleeve, and we wish him the best. 

Once a Bruin, always a Bruin.
