When looking at the current slew of players who have entered their names into the 2023 NFL draft, it is quite hard to look past Bijan Robinson if you are a fan of the Los Angeles Chargers. Multiple mock drafts have already predicted him to get selected in the first round by the Bolts especially following the trade rumors surrounding their current running back Austin Ekeler.

The numbers are special with Robinson as he played 31 games for Texas in his college career and totaled 33 touchdowns with close to 3,500 yards accumulated. However, we are looking beyond the stat sheet with the 21-year-old today. 

Whenever Robinson takes the field, it is clear how much passion and excitement he plays the game of football with. He carries that same personality when he is not suiting up and has touched the hearts of many people he has come across. KVUE news anchor Tyler Feldman shared a story on his Twitter about the future NFL star investing in the safety of his community.

"Bijan Robinson continues to be a light in the Austin community. Last week the future NFL RB taught swim lessons at Bartholomew Pool. It's all part of a partnership between Austin Parks and Recreation's Aquatic Division and @TankproofTeam!"

The city of Los Angeles is one of the biggest in the world and has a community that is by no means perfect. However, they do love their Chargers and will fully welcome Robinson with open arms if he ends up on the roster.

Seeing Robinson do everything he can to ensure he takes care of a smaller Austin community makes me wonder what he would do if he ends up in LA. Obviously he will aim to perform to the best of his abilities in SoFi Stadium but he will have the opportunity to help out the city and become a legend in that regard.
