    But one of the standouts of camp has been veteran free-agent signing Demarcus Robinson. Every day he’s seemed to make at least one highlight play, through contact or in the air. After one end-zone catch on Monday, he got a big high-five from McVay.

    THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – More than a week after making an addition to their wide receiver room, the Los Angeles Rams apparently weren’t done.

    L.A. on Monday agreed to terms with wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, adding another veteran into the mix.

    Robinson, 28, most recently played for the Ravens, recording 48 receptions for 458 receiving yards and two touchdowns while playing in all 17 of Baltimore’s regular season games, making five starts. He also had two receptions for 49 yards and one touchdown in their 24-17 wild card playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

    The eight-year pro spent his first six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he logged 145 catches for 1,679 yards and 14 touchdowns across 97 games (42 starts) during that span.

    The 6-foot-1, 203-pound Robinson originally entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick out of Florida by the Chiefs in 2016.

    Demarcus Robinson Draft report, 2016

    HEIGHT
    6’ 1’’
    WEIGHT
    203 lbs
    ARM
    33’’
    HAND
    9 1/2’’
    Overview
    Immensely talented with elite combination of straight-­line speed and quick­-twitch athleticism. Robinson flashes game­-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 re­think 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

    “I think he’s really, really talented but the guy has been suspended four times. You don’t get drafted very high when you are ‘Mr. Suspension’. I’ll probably be in that room fighting for him late though.” — NFL executive
