Brian Robinson Jr. is anticipated to take the lead in the Washington Commanders' backfield in 2025, although there are concerns about his place on the 53-man roster due to rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt's emergence. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury praised Robinson's performance, particularly against the New England Patriots. Robinson's role as the lead running back is likely at the season's beginning, but he must maintain consistency to secure a new contract next year. Other players, including Austin Ekeler and Croskey-Merritt, are expected to receive carries as well.
"He's a guy that when you put the pads on and you really practice full speed is when he really shows up. I thought he had his best practice against New England when we did the competition versus them before the game." Kliff Kingsbury
Robinson is expected by most to lead the backfield charge once again in 2025. However, there are doubts about his placement on the 53-man squad due to the rise of rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt.
The Commanders will use Robinson as their lead running back at the start of the campaign. If his performances match expectations, he may hold this role throughout the season.
Robinson needs to raise consistency and prove worthy of a second contract as he approaches a pivotal year for his future with the franchise.
