We’re running the first of what we hope will be a series of stories about the five quarterbacks in Terrapin football spring practice in tomorrow’s print edition, and current starter Jamarr Robinson will be featured first.
I spoke with the sneakily funny Robinson for a while after practice yesterday afternoon, and toward the end of our interview I asked him if there is anything he likes to do away from football.
He took an opposite approach and told me something he doesn’t like to do: Play video games.
Watch this clip from last fall for some perspective before reading what Jamarr had to say.
“I’m a pretty calm, basic person,” Robinson said. “I don’t like to play video games. I’d rather go outside and do something. I’d rather be active than sitting there in front of the TV playing video games. I will go to sleep before I would play a video game.”
A lot of guys on the team like to play video games? I asked.
“They love them. That’s why I spend a lot of time alone. Because everybody is in their room playing video games. I’d rather be active somewhere.”
