New York Giants Tight End Adrien Robinson is Ready for a Breakout Season - Yahoo! Sports
Robinson, who went to the University of Cincinnati, was one of the last of the Giants rookie class to finish his college courses. By the time he had finished and had joined the team, he had missed a fair number of the OTAs which, in addition to the on-field work, includes valuable classroom time that, once missed, is virtually impossible for a young player to make up, no matter how much extra time he spends studying.
"I think going through OTAs this year, seeing how slowly the coaches install the plays and understanding how everything feeds off each other, I realize that I did miss a lot last year by coming in so late and trying to jumpstart everything," Robinson said. "I've been here since the (offseason) program started, and it's a new year. I'm just trying to work my way up."
Robinson said he's encouraged by the results of his hard work thus far. "I think the biggest improvement I've made is in my understanding of the offense and knowing the plays, my assignments, where to line up, and how to read the defenses," he said. "Last year, I didn't get many game reps, so I had to watch a lot, which helped, but it's not the same as lining up on the field."
