To this day, wrestling is what helped get (me here). Thats one of the hardest things Ive ever done. Being out there, 1-on-1. Aint no excuses. If somebody puts you on your back, thats on you. Its an embarrassing feeling when youre looking at the lights on the ceiling. (The offensive line) its just 1-on-1 matchups across the board. Just as a unit in general, every offensive lineman around the country will tell you, Dont nobody care if youre banged up. Dont nobody care if theres a miscommunication. Get it figured out. Get the job done. Youre there for a reason. Get it done. Thats how wrestling really was, too. I dont care if the mat was slippery or if you had this or that. Man, its on you. Dont get put on your back.
...Robertson has battled a variety of injuries the last three years, but this offseason, hes changed his diet (eliminating red meat and pork) and improved his flexibility. Hes always been a weight room alpha dog, but he feels Gullickson has taken him to a new level.
His blueshirt is simply a footnote in his history now, and hes primed to be the backbone on the most important unit on Tennessees team in 2017. Im at Tennessee. So-and-so is also at Tennessee. Were both on scholarship. Im not here for no reason. I wouldnt be here if I didnt have some ability to play on this level. Any true competitor, any dog should have that mindset, he said. I feel really good with my body right now. Im ready to go."
