49ers Newcomer With 2,916 Yards Says ‘San Francisco Is Where I Belong’ After Outstanding Practice
Santa Clara, CA – September 6, 2025
The San Francisco 49ers entered Week 1 preparation with no shortage of storylines, but one new arrival has captured headlines after a dazzling practice performance that left teammates buzzing and coaches nodding in approval.
The running back rotation already features Christian McCaffrey, yet the 49ers sought additional depth through a late-August trade. What they got was a bruising, versatile weapon who is already winning over the Bay Area.
“San Francisco is where I belong,” the newcomer declared, radiating confidence after practice. His words echoed a sense of relief and determination, signaling a fresh start after leaving behind the franchise that once doubted his future.
That man is Brian Robinson Jr., acquired from Washington in exchange for a sixth-round pick. With 2,916 career yards from scrimmage, Robinson brings production, toughness, and the hunger of a player with something to prove.
Robinson carved his reputation on hard-nosed runs, tallying 2,329 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, plus 587 receiving yards with five more scores. He arrives in San Francisco eager to complement McCaffrey while carving out his own spotlight.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan praised his newest weapon. “He runs through arm tackles, finds extra yards, and doesn’t hesitate. That’s exactly what we need in this system,” Shanahan said, emphasizing Robinson’s fit in the 49ers’ zone-blocking scheme.
In practice, teammates marveled at his burst and strength, describing him as relentless. For San Francisco, his presence ensures the offense won’t falter when McCaffrey rests — instead, they gain another hammer ready to punish defenses.
For fans, Robinson’s arrival embodies resilience and ambition. From feeling cast aside in Washington to declaring San Francisco “home,” his journey aligns perfectly with a franchise determined to finish what it started: chasing a Super Bowl.
