Bijan Robinson shows off luxury sports car as part of new NIL deal

Bijan Robinson is the latest star college football player to unveil a name, image and likeness deal.

This time, Robinson is showing off pictures of himself at the Lamborghini Austin dealership. It’s a world class car for an elite running back set to join the NFL next year.

Robinson has been listed as a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft by multiple mock drafts.

Expected to be one of the best running backs in the country this season, Robinson is a third-year running back who has played in 19 games and made 16 starts. He was a 2021 semifinalist for the Maxwell and Doak Walker awards, and an All-Big 12 First Team honoree by league coaches and the Associated Press.

Robinson played in and started 10 games last season and carried the ball 195 times for a team-leading 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also caught 26 passes for 295 yards and 4 touchdowns.

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay had Robinson at No. 19 in his early 2023 mock draft, and he described it this way:

Zero running backs were taken in Round 1 this year, but I expect we’ll return to seeing at least one come off the board on Day 1 next April. After going cornerback earlier, Philly could look to spark the run game here. At 6-foot and 214 pounds, Robinson is a unique talent both as a runner and receiver. He piled up 1,127 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns last season, but he also caught 26 passes for 295 yards and four more scores. Miles Sanders is entering the final year of his current deal, and the Eagles played their best football last season when they leaned on the run.

When Dreams turn into Reality. God, I’m Grateful. 🙌🏾 Thank you #LamborghiniAtx for the partnership. #lambopartner pic.twitter.com/5b3aX6B1BW
