Recently, Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant (who also went to Texas) spoke about Robinson in an interview with Kay Adams.

Durant: "All-time legend. Flat out. I love him too... Just how much he loves football... He's just a natural at it. He runs the football and it doesn't even look like he's running full speed... He's an insane player. He's one of the best players I've ever seen with my eyes. Now I need him to produce for the next 12 years, so what I said can make sense."

Durant also revealed that he watched most of the Falcons games last season.

The Falcons finished last season with a 7-10 record and missed the NFL playoffs.

They made a major change over the offseason by signing Kirk Cousins to be their new quarterback.

While the contest was close, they lost by a score of 18-10.

Robinson rushed for 68 yards and had five receptions for 43 yards.
