The Los Angeles Rams have gotten their OTAs underway this week and all eyes were on the team’s new signing on offense, Allen Robinson. When asked about Robinson and what he brings to the offense, Sean McVay had nothing but good things to say about the Pro Bowl wideout.
“He’s a stud. I’ve been so impressed with just his overall professionalism day in and day out. He’s got a great way about himself,” McVay said. “Locked in in the meetings and I think the first thing that stands out is the body control for a bigger receiver. I bet you he’s a baller on the basketball court. He’s wired to be able to double up and play underneath himself. Some of those bigger guys that play as big as he does typically don’t have the ability to get in and out of their breaks as seamlessly as he does. But I think his transition in and out of breaks and how smooth he is for how big he is, it’s been very exciting, and love getting to know him a little bit more.”
Following a Super Bowl victory, not many expected the Rams to aggressively pursue a wide receiver in free agency. However, Los Angeles relished the opportunity to sign Robinson after he had a forgettable campaign with the Chicago Bears in 2021.
Robinson has three 1,000-yard seasons under his belt in his first eight years in the NFL and he’ll now get an opportunity to catch passes from Matthew Stafford and thrive alongside Cooper Kupp. Even though Stafford isn’t throwing passes yet, and the Rams are just beginning offseason activities, McVay is clearly amped up to have Robinson in the offense this season.
