Allen Robinson at Free Safety

Quote:I was. But uhhh, it made sense at the time. I just thought about myself. 6'4 240 supremely athletic and very fast for my size. At 38 yrs old, I be killin it at safety in flag. Against yung beaus at that. So I was just thinking...


... Everybody grows up playing both sides of the ball. Why not let our 6'3 215 ProBowler of a fast rangy receiver play safety. I really dont understand why the idea is so far fetched. Dion was a supremely talented, great athlete, who played iron nan football on the grid iron. In fact he was not only a shut down corner, a very prolific wide receiver but also a duel return man and was great at that.


So why cant ARob play safety? Im pretty sure he'd lead the league in picks
 

I enjoyed this post. ^ And Deion Sanders is both a good example and bad example at the same time, but I think your candor deserves a real answer - so here it is:

 

Robinson is too valuable to this team as a receiver.  There is a reason why players don't play both sides of the ball anymore in the NFL.  They are more competitive at their greater skill set when they aren't burning energy at another position. I understand why it makes sense as a concept - but the NFL moved on from it for a reason.
