Bijan Robinson says NIL money can make young players think they no longer have to work or listen
“At Texas, they were always telling me, ‘Yo B, go out, bro. Have fun.’ Obviously, as college kids, we did a little bit of fun, but with me, I was so locked in.”
“They were always like, ‘Why don’t you come out?’ But then on the flip side they’re always like, ‘Damn B, I want to be where you’re at.’ I’m like, ‘You’ve got to make a choice.’ It’s always good to have fun. You have to have fun in college and experience it.”
“But at the same time, you have to be so focused and locked in and understand, especially in my position, I was trying to do big things and make it as high as I possibly could. As much as I love it for kids, they’re starting to get paid all this money and then their mentality becomes so shot.”
“They’re like, ‘I have money. I can do this. I don’t have to work as hard.’ I saw a video on TikTok the other day, and it was this college kid yelling at his coach in camp. He was like, ‘Bro, I don’t have to listen to you. I got all this money. I don’t got to listen.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s a different world. What?’ I would’ve got ripped. I would’ve got kicked off the team.”
“For me to explain that to kids now, I’m like, ‘Bro, you have to go to college for relationships and the relationship with the coaches.’ It’s cool to get money. You will get money if you perform the right way.”
This part of the new Untold doc about Vince Young says a lot about how bitter Jeff Fisher still is.
Vince sent him an apology letter, and Fisher says he never responded because Vince spelled his name wrong.
Of all the things he could've said, THAT'S what he chose to focus on.
