Denard Robinson's speech at the Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon

Here is Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson's 8-minute speech at Friday's Big Ten football Kickoff Luncheon in Chicago.

Robinson is comfortable driving opposing defenses crazy, but he freely admits public-speaking has intimidated him.

"It's a fear I'm trying to get over, speaking in front of people," Robinson said in this ESPN.com article . "I want to be able to do it. I've always been scared to really talk to people. I'm not a person that wanted to talk to anybody random or just in general.

"My freshman and sophomore year, I was never really a media guy or a guy you could pull a lot out of. I wouldn't talk as much, I'd two-word you. Now, I'm trying to elaborate on things."

I think this will make it a bit harder for fans of other teams to root against Robinson.
