Bijan Robinson has a simple message for Texas QB Arch Manning

Bijan Robinson was a tremendous running back for the Texas Longhorns during his time in college football. Now with the Atlanta Falcons and known as one of the most exciting young players in the NFL, Robinson was an All-American and a Heisman Trophy candidate for the Longhorns. He's uniquely qualified to talk about Texas football, and there is a lot to talk about right now. 

The big storyline surrounding the program is Arch Manning and his struggles in 2025. Those struggles were highlighted by Texas' loss to Florida, which saw him complete just 16 of 29 passes for two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was just the second multi-interception game of Manning's college career, and he has now thrown at least one interception in all but one game this season.

Bijan Robinson tells Arch Manning and Texas Longhorns to focus

Perhaps that's why Robinson is telling him to tune everything out. There's been a ton of noise and hype surrounding Manning ever since he emerged on the recruiting trail out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Noise and hype can be good, but things are tough right now, which is why Manning needs to focus.

“Continue to stay consistent,” was Robinson's message to Manning via "The Rich Eisen Show" (h/t On3). “Stay consistent as much as possible. Don’t listen to the media because the media will either steer you in the right direction or it will tarnish you for your career. So, for him, always know that everyone has his back in that building. Coach (Sarkisian) and the team have his back. Everybody around him has his back. It’s not just him, it’s the whole team. The whole offense needs to come together, especially this week playing against Oklahoma."
