The Rams are bringing in another veteran receiver, agreeing to terms with former Chiefs and Ravens WR Demarcus Robinson
Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Couple things stand out to me about Demarcus Robinson – heās a competitive vet; they donāt have a heck of a lot of veteran WRs fully practicing right now, and a lot of players who need to learn how. And, he has return experience – that entire competition has yet to materialize.Long, long way to go until September. Lots to learn still about several players in that group.
So much of what theyāre doing right now across the whole roster is learning how to practice and apply stuff from film room for the first time. Several vets arenāt practicing. Super helpful to have a consistent player like him around for a while.

HEIGHT6ā 1āāWEIGHT203 lbsARM33āāHAND9 1/2āā.ByĀ Lance ZierleinOverviewImmensely talented with elite combination of straight-Āline speed and quickĀ-twitch athleticism. Robinson flashes gameĀ-breaking potential as a deep ball threat and after the catch, but was suspended by two different coaches over a three-year period. While Robinson is likely to test off the charts and has the talent to be a top four receiver in this draft, it is hard to imagine his draft slot equaling his talent due to his character concerns.Strengths- Talent jumps off the tape early in the session
- Electric vertical talent that can make cornerbacks reĀthink their coverage plans
- Has shake at the line of scrimmage to free himself against press coverage and has adequate ball tracking skills
- Graceful, flexible athlete with instant turbo acceleration
- Has ability to hit the home run after the catch
- Races off the line and forced cornerbacks into retreat opening easy comeback catches
- Has talent and ability to make a living outside or from the slot
Weaknesses- Routes can be lazy at times
- Will need to improve with selling fakes at break point of his routes as a pro
- Too reliant on athleticism and speed over improvement of skill level
- Hands are a concern with 11 drops to 106 catches at Florida
- Plays smaller than his listed size
- Suspended four times while at Florida
- Scouts call him immature and selfish
