Summary
7:58 a.m. ET—about two minutes after news of Bijan Robinson’s new contract broke—the Falcons running back said Matthew McConaughey texted him congratulations.
Robinson told reporters McConaughey was the first person to reach out, ahead of what he described as many other messages from “awesome, really cool people.”
The exchange reflects McConaughey’s ties to Texas football: despite being a Commanders fan, he also backs former Longhorns in the NFL, including Robinson.
