Atlanta Falcons Wide Receiver – Aldrick Robinson

As a wide receiver in the NFL nearing his 30’s Robinson’s chances of finding a starting gig are starting to dwindle.

The Bucs are looking for a solid number-two to team up with Mike Evans and want to add speed to their roster.

Robinson may not be the obvious second receiver they want, but he’s faster than just about every member of their current roster and has had a fairly good season in Atlanta despite playing behind the incomparable Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel and even Justin Hardy.

He had 20 catches in the regular season and two touchdowns, but what stands out are the six 20+ yard receptions he had.

He’s got the ability to move down field quickly and is a shifty route runner who isn’t scared to make a catch in traffic.

Of course, at 5’10” he’ll need Jameis Winston to get the ball down a bit more than he has in his first two seasons, but if the Bucs sign him and find a way to get him loose in the secondary it could provide good dividends for the team’s offensive production.
