Scouting Report/Player Notes

Robinson is a supremely talented athlete who is one of very, very few people to throw for over 2,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in consecutive seasons. That is an absolutely incredible feat and if he stays healthy in 2012, he’s going to likely do it again. In my opinion, Robinson’s NFL future is not at the quarterback position unless he shows significant progress in his passing this season. He threw far too many interceptions last year, and really struggled with accuracy. Still, Robinson is capable of making great throws at times, but I think in the NFL, he is going to transition to the receiver position, where guys like Josh Cribbs and Antwan Randle-El have paved the way in previous years. He has incredible speed and elusiveness in the open field. Robinson will take steps as Michigan’s leader in 2012, and should be a Heisman Trophy finalist as a senior. When he gets to the NFL, some team will take a chance on him in the second or third round and use him in a variety of ways as a receiver, runner, return man, and quarterback. This is a unique talent who can be a very valuable asset to a football team depending on his willingness to play other positions. I am not sure he has a future at QB, but a future in the NFL is not even in question.
