The NFL went behind the scenes with Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the Rookie Premiere event in May and gave fans a glimpse into his personality as he bonded with other former college stars. A video posted to Twitter on Friday shows a “day in the life” of a rookie at the marketing-based gathering of first-year players.

Thompson-Robinson’s charisma was on full display during the two-minute video, as he led viewers through his preparation routine early in the morning before getting presented with his No. 17 Browns jersey for photo shoots.
He was accompanied by Cleveland’s third-round pick Cedric Tillman, who made sure that the Browns were well-represented at the gathering and started building chemistry with the rookie quarterback.
The pair talked about potential touchdown celebrations, went through different motions for the NFL’s cameramen to get action shots for promotional materials, and looked to be having a great time.
At the video’s end, Thompson-Robinson took some time to send a message to the fans.
“To all my Browns fans, I love you,” He said. “I can’t wait to see you in preseason rocking the stadium out.”
Surely, Thompson-Robinson seems to be a larger-than-life character heading into his first season as a professional athlete, and the shoutout at the end of the video is sure to buy him some cachet with the Cleveland faithful. Watch for him to compete for reps as a backup in training camp and for his bond with Tillman to be a key storyline through the preseason when the two take the field for their first snaps in the NFL.
