Latest & Breaking News on Fox News

NFL fashionistas out there have made the pregame fit, as the kids call it, into something of a spectator event because media has started sharing and commenting on what outfit players wear to their games. And the Week 1 best-dressed goes to Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Landon Robinson.

Robinson didn’t wear the latest suit on Sunday.

Or the coolest jeans.

Robinson, a 6-foot, 295-pounder, has said the Naval Academy shaped his leadership, discipline and work ethic. Those are qualities he believes helped him compete for and win a roster spot despite being undersized.
