If only someone (lots of people to be fair, but I'm not allowed to bring up the twitter draftniks that completely nailed it) had been screaming this since before he was drafted even...oh wait. 

 

A 90th percentile SPARQ athlete who also had great production and character? It was plain silliness that he fell more than just after OBJ, as he was clearly a top 4 WR in that class.

 

Thank Dave's lucky stars he was able to trade back up instead of being stuck with only the clearly even ahead of time disastrous Marqise Lee pick.

I could care less that my ex-girlfriend is dating my best friend.  Really, I don't care.  It doesn't bother me one bit that they are pictured together on facebook and just returned from the Bahamas.  I don't care.  I'm happy for her.  Really, I am.  I'm ok with it.

Put the clips down and step away from the gun...  :o

They could have said the exact same thing about Jimmy Smith a couple of seasons into his career. 

 

Players get injured.  It's a fact of life in football.  However, with the kind of injuries Lee has sustained, none are of the nature that would threaten his ability to reach his potential.  They're simply setbacks.  Players who have suffered a lot of injuries coming into the league have managed to get past that and have quite a bit of success.  Ask Fred Taylor.

Could'nt have put it in a better perspective...

Why did he fall?  Honest question.

His combine numbers weren't quite as good (although still very impressive) particularly his 40 time which was 4.60 at the combine. NFL teams didn't think he was fast/quick enough to be a #1 threat in the NFL and just saw him as a good possession receiver, which he is proving them wrong. He might have just had an off day at the combine. It's still weird because statistically he put up even better numbers than Julio Jones did in his junior year. Maybe if A-Rob played in the SEC like Green and Jones he would have been a top 10 pick?

 

Also you have to remember how stacked that draft was at receiver. A lot of the teams that needed receivers had taken them already and the teams that passed on taking receivers were undervaluing the position. In another year, maybe even this past draft or the upcoming one, A-Rob may have been a first round pick.

 

I don't think this gets talked about a lot, but Robinson size and athleticism are off the charts, he has to be one of the best athletes (at any position) in the NFL, just look at his pro day numbers.


 

Allen Robinson Pro Day: 40: 4.42 seconds Vert: 42" Broad: 11" 3 cone: 6.53 seconds, those are Julio Jones type numbers given his size.What impresses me the most is the 3 cone time of 6.53, to give you an idea of how incredibly quick that is, Ameer Abdullah timed at 6.79, I think most people would consider Abdullah as one of the most quick/sudden players in the NFL. A'Rob's quickness shows up on the field as DB's have a difficult time pressing him because of it, he's too quick/big/strong to press, similar to AJ Green & Julio Jones. When it's all said and done I think Robinson will be the best WR in the history of this franchise, and easily one of the best (top 5) in the leauge.

First receiver to record 400 yards receiving and 4 TDs in the first 5 games of the season at age 22 since Randy Moss. Damn. All the statistical metrics  love him too and project him as a star and number 1.

Good find.

As far as the Arob comparisons, I'd venture to say he's a young Brandon Marshall clone. He even wears #15.

That is a good one, I see Hurns like a younger Chad Johnson.

The most lackadaisical guy I have ever seen on a football field.


Sorry to keep bringing up scary facts... But he was actually better than most, if not all, the WRs we had until We got Hurns/Lee.

 

100% right

Good god no! Hurns seems to have a head on his shoulders.

Literally.
