Robinson is one of the best RB's in the league, with 14 touchdowns and 1,456 yards last season. But, it's a new season and in order to continue his success, he'll need to be training camp-ready first.
Here's what Bijan Robinson shared with the USA Today Shopping team about his training camp must-haves:

Being an NFL star is a lot of work, even for someone as athletic as Bijan Robinson. He admits that even he needs a pick-me-up every now and then; in which case he'll reach for the Jolly Rancher Green Apple C4 energy powder.
"C4's Jolly Rancher Green Apple Performance Energy hits every time," Robinson said. "I drink it before practice or a big lift and it gives me the energy I need without the crash."
And who doesn't love the green apple Jolly Rancher? A weird obsession I share with an NFL running back. "The green apple flavor is fire," Robinson said. "It gets me locked in for whatever's ahead."

And who doesn't need their favorite tunes to get pumped? "You'll never catch me without my Beats [headphones]," says Robinson. "Whether I'm walking into the facility or hitting a late lift, they're a must."
Robinson credits the sound quality and calls it 'unmatched.'
"They help me lock in and block out the noise."
Now, Robinson didn't actually specify which Beats style he prefers, but considering he made headlines for gifting the entire Texas football team a custom pair of Beats Studio headphones before they faced Alabama in 2022, I'm gonna assume he has a favorite.
Listen to your faves on Apple Music
And, of course, with the best headphones, you need the best playlist too. Robinson turns to Apple Music for his favorites.
"Music sets the tone for everything for me: Training, game day and even recovery," Robinson said. "I've built my go-to Apple Music playlist that always gives me the energy and mindset I need. It keeps me focused and ready for whatever the season throws my way."
Even NFL running back's need to recover and unwind

The bean bag chair you loved in college? It just got an upgrade.

After a long day of workouts, drills or maybe getting tackled more times than you would like by a 300-lb defender, recovery is more than necessary. For Robinson, that includes kicking back on his LoveSac SuperSac, which is needed during the season and offseason alike.
"There's nothing better than coming home and sinking into my LoveSac SuperSac after a long day at camp," Robinson said. "It's my go-to spot to relax, catch up on film or just clear my head."
I'd love to see him loading this onto the team jet.

"Camp takes a toll on your body," Robinson said. "The Theragun helps me bounce back quicker and keep my legs fresh. It's a nonnegotiable part of my daily routine now."
