When it came to who the funniest player on the team is, Robinson's answer might surprise you.
"The funniest guy on the team, I would have to say, 'cause there's a lot of 'em, is Zachary Harrison. He's one of our d-linemen. Dude is hilarious and I don't think he tries to be but every time I'm with him it's just, there's never a dull moment and we're just crackling every single time. He sits right next to me in the team meetings and that dude is hilarious."
