Commanders RB Brian Robinson had a big day and an even bigger hat

Don't expect Brian Robinson to let the success he had on Sunday give him a big head. But if it does, he has the hat to fill it.

Robinson had himself a day, recording his first 100-yard day as a pro. He finished with 18 carries for 105 yards. 

His best play came on a touchdown reception when he showed no consideration for cornerback Darren Hall's feelings on his way to the end zone.

His performance drew praise from head coach Ron Rivera, who gave him the game ball.

As he received the game ball, Robinson is seen wearing a very large hat. He takes it off to address the team and someone (accurately) yells for him to leave it on; when given the opportunity to wear a very big hat, no one should ever refuse.

Robinson gave a heartfelt speech about the importance of the team as he healed from the late-August shooting incident that forced him to miss the start of the season.

"Everybody in this room has shown me unconditional love and support. Just to help me get to this point... I couldn't be more thankful," said Robinson.

Since making his debut on Oct. 9, Robinson has 126 carries for 467 yards and two touchdowns.

As impressive a performance as Robinson's was against the Falcons, his big hat drew the biggest reaction online.
