Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson has spoken out recently about the treatment of African Americans by police officers, and he let his actions on the field do the talking during Sunday’s game against the Ravens.
With two minutes remaining in the first half of the game, and the Jaguars in a second-and-goal situation, Blake Bortles faked a handoff and threw a pass toward the end zone, intended for Robinson. The Jaguars receiver made the grab with ease, and Jacksonville cut Baltimore’s lead to 10-7.
Robinson celebrated in the end zone afterward by doing the “Hands up, don’t shoot!” gesture.
It will be interesting to see if other players follow his lead.
