Prospect Watch: Demarcus Robinson




Demarcus Robinson is one of the less talked about receivers in this draft, but probably one of the most talented athletes in this class. Robinson had an up and down career at the University of Florida, where he was suspended 4 times and was inconsistent at times in his play. His best season was his sophomore year in which he had 53 receptions for 810 yards and 7 touchdowns and that was with poor quaterback play. Now he has a chance to prove doubters wrong at the scouting combine and live up to the high expectations coming out of high school. High profile analyst Tony Pauline offered some high praise about Robinson a few days ago.
"On film, Robinson grades as a top-15 prospect and would challenge Laquon Treadwell as the draft’s best receiver"
That is immense praise, but is accurate as Robinson, who is 6'2 205lbs has all the tools, he has the speed, route running, and playmaking ability that coaches look for in a wide receiver.  Robinson said yesterday that his actions at Florida were selfish and he is ready for a fresh start. That fresh start could take place with the Bucs as they were one of the teams to speak with him according to Jenna Laine.
For the Bucs, Robinson would be great value anywhere after the 5th round, and could up being the steal of the draft. With having a quaterback like Jameis Winston throwing to him, Robinson could end up being a solid number two receiver within time.
