Great video on the website featuring Dunta Robinson discussing his comeback.

Dunta Robinson: I’m coming around third base and I’m headed home in my rehab. I’m doing everything on the field now, from covering receivers to all of my DB drills. Now I’m doing football things. The rehab is not as long and as strenuous as it was at one point, and I’m happy about that.

Brooke Bentley: Are you ready to start hitting?

Dunta Robinson: I’m definitely looking forward to hitting people. It’s been a long time. I’ve never been away from football this long since I was seven years old. I’m definitely excited to be getting back into the mix of football.



Brooke Bentley: Some people have said that you will have to move to safety because you will have lost some speed. What do you have to say to those people?

Dunta Robinson: I’m a corner. Nothing will be lost. I’m going to go out there and do my job the way I’ve always done it. I can play safety, and to be mentioned as a safety is a good thing. But I’m a corner and that’s until I retire.

Brooke Bentley: There used to be a time when people would watch you rehab and wonder if you would come back. Now, do you think people see it’s just a matter of when?

Dunta Robinson: It’s just all about the will and determination that I have. A lot of things I blocked out, but I believed in myself and I knew I could get better and I knew I could return. So when people were saying, “If he comes back,” that was one of those things that went in one ear and out the other because I knew if I put my mind to it and I worked as hard as I possibly could, I knew I would be back. And I am almost there.



Just watching the video and seeing him make his cuts and listening to how he composes himself is freaking awesome. It's been said many times on here about his determination and this just backs all that up.

Thats my man and I knew he had to much heart to stay out as long as people originally projected.The man tackled rehab like he does on the field and was always serious about getting back to the game.It will be nice to have his fire and heart back on the field, I am sure there will be early setbacks getting back into the flow of the game.On the upside if anyone can overcome these it will be D Rob. ;)

Brooke mentioned people who had doubted he would ever return. Who are these people and where can I find them? Don't ever doubt the D-Rob!
