Keep an eye on Robinson

As I hung around the practice field last fall, I heard a lot of talk about wide receiver Adrien Robinson, who was being redshirted at the time. Robinson is 6-5, about 225-230 and runs a 4.5 40.

He’s currently running at No. 2 on the depth chart at the inside wide receiver position, but Brian Kelly says he can also play on the outside.

At this point, he’s still feeling his way, but Kelly said he expects him to be a factor this fall.

“He’s a big target, a physical guy who can run,” said Kelly said. “Those are the kind of guys that I can find room for. That’s why we recruited him. He’s a hard matchup for anybody.”

“He’ll play for us this year and he’ll get an opportunity to make plays. It’s just a matter of how quickly he can pick things up.”

Sounds like a great tight end.

I am thinking a couple holes filled here and there, many starters back, and some new players will equal many wins this year for the Cats.

Robinson may need to shift to TE at the next level, but at this level the corners won't be able to cover him and jump with him.

Bob,

It depends on which way you build his body. Put on weight he could grow into one. Or keep him lighter and make him a nightmare for all those 5'10" DB's.
