Overview
There may be bigger names in college football, but the statistics prove it - there isn't a more consistent big-play threat in the country than Robinson. At the end of the 2007 season, Robinson became the NCAA career all-purpose yards per play record holder with a 16.16 average on 6,479 career yards in 401 plays. Robinson, or "K-Rob," is a very good athlete with the blend of initial quickness, acceleration and top end speed to help an NFL team early in his career as a receiver and return specialist - a position from which he has generated nine scores on a combination of punts and kickoffs - including one during the East West Shrine Game.
Analysis
Positives: Lean, athletic build Good initial quickness Able to generate consistent separation due to his quickness out of his breaks Sets up defenders well and can get behind the defense for the big play Tracks the ball well over his shoulder Will compete in a crowd for the ball A natural with the ball in his hands Elusive after the catch and shows vision winding through the defense to generate positive yards after the catch.
Negatives: Level of competition is a concern Great production early in his career and as a senior, but struggled with consistency Viewed by some as a very good return specialist who can help at receiver, rather than the preferred very good receiver who can help as a return specialist.
High School
Two-time first-team all-league selection as a defensive back Earned all-valley honors as a senior as well Was an honorable mention all-league pick as a sophomore Recorded four interceptions as a senior As a wide receiver he had 69 catches for 1,214 yards and 14 touchdowns Also competed in basketball and track and reached the state finals in the triple jump.
