In Week 7 of the 2023 NFL season, the former running back for the Longhorns forced then-Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith to pay a $25,000 fine.

With just one carry for three yards and no rushing attempts or passing targets in the first half of the game, Robinson’s stat line against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers caught people off guard.

Robinson was said to be feeling under the weather, but this was not noted on the Falcons’ injury report, which is against NFL policy regarding personnel injury reports.
