Love this guy....Travis needs to learn heart from him.
(Click on the link for the rest of the article)Even after we saw him make plays, impact plays even, last season, something about DelJuan Robinson just doesnt look right on the Texans defensive line.
At 6-3, 300-plus, hes one of the big boys, so its not that.
Its that number he wears: 66.
Sixty-six? For a big, nasty interior defensive lineman?
It looks weird, all right, but you are going to have a fight on your hands if you try to take that jersey away from Robinson.
I dont care what it looks like; I aint changing it, Robinson said after Tuesday mornings workout. Ive had a couple of opportunities to get a number in the 90s, but I wont do it.
I didnt ask for it; they gave me the number. And theyre going to have to take it away.
Robinson isnt attached to the number because he loved it as a child. His No. 9 is retired at Hernando High School in Mississippi, where he starred at defensive end. He wore No. 98 at Mississippi State, where he was signed by Jackie Sherrill.
No, Robinsons 66 was a temporary number that NFL teams give to players when the roster is too big for everyone to have digits that correspond to their position. Big-time draft picks get to stand before the cameras holding up their numbers. Undrafted free agents take what theyre given.
That automatically told me where I stood from day one: looking like an offensive lineman, Robinson said. Every day I look at it, I know where I came from.
Im just thankful for a jersey. You can give me No. 1. You can give me double zero. Im just thankful to get a jersey. Any jersey.
How can you not root for this guy?
