Bijan Robinson loses bet, rocks Georgia gear at Falcons facility after Texas loss
It’s a bad week to be a former Texas Longhorn in the NFL.
First, it was Kansas City Chiefs (6-0) wideout Xavier Worthy. Now, it’s Atlanta Falcons (4-3) running back Bijan Robinson: Two former Longhorns who lost bets after Georgia picked up a 30-15 victory inside Texas Memorial Stadium this past Saturday. Robinson arrived at his Wednesday presser rocking Bulldogs gear, the price to pay for losing a wager to teammate and Georgia alum Charlie Woerner.
Robinson came into the media room muttering “Georgia sucks” under his breath, per Joe Patrick of 92.9 The Game.
Bijan Robinson, Xavier Worthy lose respective bets after Texas’ loss to Georgia
Whereas Robinson fulfilled his end of the bet Wednesday, Worthy took care of his Tuesday. He lost his friendly wager to teammate and former Georgia star Mecole Hardman and entered the facility wearing a Bulldogs long sleeve. A dejected Worthy was filmed by Hardman, a video which Hardman blasted out to social media.
Perhaps the Longhorns could have used Robinson and Worthy against the now No. 2 team in the nation, as Texas’ potent offense was largely held in check by Kirby Smart‘s defense. Both, however, are now making a name for themselves in the NFL.

While the numbers don’t show it, 15 catches for 198 yards and four total touchdowns, Worthy has showed his ability to be must-see in open space going back to his two-touchdown performance in the season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens (5-2).
Robinson, meanwhile, has rushed for 483 yards and four touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry. The 2023 No. 8 overall pick is a valuable member of a Falcons squad sitting atop the NFC South.
