Brian Robinson earned the respect of several people during his NFL debut for the Washington Commanders.

He got shot multiple times in the lower body over a month ago during an attempted robbery. Robinson played Sunday against Derrick Henry and the Tennessee Titans. When his name was announced over the PA system, he took the field to “Many Men” by Grammy Award-winner Rapper 50 Cent. It became an inspiring and emotional moment for Robinson to get back on the field.

50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, was shot nine times in the South Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, N.Y. Jackson took his pain, frustration, and near-death experience and turned it into a music career. He shouted out Robinson via Instagram, showing his support for the running back’s perseverance. Robinson totaled 22 rushing yards against the Titans, but it was good to see him play.
