At times it looked as if Dorian Robinson-Thompson was playing chess for Chip Kelly and everyone else was playing checkers. Because he was.
There were times at UCLA when it looked as if Dorian Robinson-Thompson was playing chess for Chip Kelly and everyone else was playing checkers.“Coach Kelly brought in a chess guru, and he is now my life coach, someone that I go to all the time for advice,” DTR said. “As we started to go through seasons together, he was learning football, I was learning chess.”
He ended up executing enough plays to become a 6-1, 205-pound dual-threat quarterback expecting to have his name called during the NFL draft possibly as early as the third round. “I wish I did it sooner in the game when there were more people there to watch, but that one was definitely sweet though,” DTR said.
DTR wears a chess saying on his wristband that reads: “Player not a piece.” He was asked for its meaning.
