Have you ever wondered what football players do during the offseason when they aren’t participating in OTAs or training camps?
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson gave us a glimpse of his life outside of football and showcased his acting skills, as the running back appeared on a recently aired episode of “Bunk’d’: Learning The Ropes” on Disney channel.

From the football field to the TV screens, Robinson played himself, appearing as an NFL running back missing training camp to come and help out what he called his “third favorite babysitter” in the characters’ wedding planning.
The plot saw characters Parker (played by Trevor Tordjman) and Victoria (played by Jordan Clark) in need of someone to play at their upcoming wedding reception. Parker invited Robinson to DJ, with Robinson happily accepting.
Later in the episode, Victoria would explain to her soon-to-be husband that she no longer wanted Robinson to perform at their wedding, instead wanting a live band. The couple then began to contemplate ways to break the news to the Falcons running back.
When they met up with Robinson, he informed them that he had his own bad news to give them first. Robinson would mention that “coach needs me back in Atlanta” and that he would no longer be able to perform at the wedding reception. This led to a sigh of relief from the couple, as they no longer would have to be the bearers of bad news in the situation.
After all, this is a Disney show for kids and was a fun opportunity for the star running back, so don’t judge too seriously.
Robinson is a bonafide stud on the football field and he is beginning to trend upwards as one of the future faces of the league, becoming very marketable and appearing in more commercials and TV shows as of late.
Atlanta has a superstar on their hands.
