Size: 6-2, 209 pounds
Combine 40-yard dash: 4.46
POSITIVES
His father, Terry, is a NFL coach, and that helps because he understands the game and what it takes to get there. Robiskie has excellent hands and catches the ball away from his body, which is important because it doesn't allow balls to bounce off the chest. Is smart and reads zone coverages well because he finds holes in the defense.
NEGATIVES
He's not special. He's just solid and to become an elite receiver he has to be special. He doesn't have any burst off the snap and isn't explosiveness out of his cuts which hurts him in his ability to get away from cornerbacks. He's not very strong and has a weak lower body.
COWBOY FIT
He can be a nice slot receiver here because he has good speed and has the ability to make catches on key third down plays. Robiskie can compete with Isaiah Stanback for the fifth wide out spot. His health isn't a question like Stanback's so that helps him in his ability to make the team.
