Denard Robinson Question

[xwalker]

Could he be a RB instead of a WR?

I think it would be an easier transition for him.

5104 196 Denard Robinson

5094 197 Andre Ellington
5092 188 Kenjon Barner
5100 201 Jonathan Franklin

I don't think he has the build of an every down runner. 6 foot 197 lbs just won't cut it in the NFL.

Maybe as a scat back, however, he hasn't shown much in terms of natural receiving skills.

I think he is a lot like Hester. He doesnt have a position, but is so athletic he can still make things happen if you put him in the right situations.

[TheCoolFan]

He can be a true flex player like Percy Harvin.

That's what made me think that RB might be a better fit. He could continue to train as a receiver also.

Either way, I wouldn't take him before the 5th.

........I've watched him weekly for the last 4 seasons and everything you said is spot on. Just a myth created by the UM hype machine. Kid is vastly overrated. Speed and speed only won't get you much in the NFL. Worst of all, he's fragile..constantly was banged up.
