Reginald Robinson made an eight-hour drive on Thursday to witness Texas A&M’s pro day. Dressed in his team’s colors, he closely watched safety Justin Evans, whom he compared to former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu.

Robinson made mental notes of the results from each test Evans completed.

A 4.53 40-yard dash. Not bad.

A 10-foot-9 broad jump. Exceptional.

All that despite a strained right quadricep. Amazing.
