Josh Robinson signed with Drew Rosenhaus...

[dawgstudent]

pretty well known agent.

 

[seshomoru]

Well... with his agency at least.

Which is based in Miami. Sounds like JRob had a productive trip down there after all.

 

[121Josey]

He was Terrell Owen's agent, for the uninformed, who is based Miami - but that's beside the point.

 

[ronpolk]

He was on the same flight as me from Charlotte to Fort Lauderdale last week. I told my wife I wouldn't be shocked if he was after McKinney or Dak. I didn't expect JRob though.

 

[seshomoru]

Rosenhaus lives in Miami. I really wish JRob had found somebody else.

Hope I'm wrong about this and I obviously don't know a thing about his NFL draft grade, but I have a really bad feeling that JRob isn't going to get drafted.

 

[121Josey]

This explains the announcement on the day of the game.

 

[ronpolk]

I think he gets drafted just not very high. I think he's on an NFL roster next year though.

He doesn't project well. He could easily move up after the combine (was invited) but right now he's expected to go in the 6th. The signing bonus is so small at that point a lot of agents would rather not get drafted so they can pick the team.

 

[Philly Dawg]

Vick Ballard was drafted in the 5th round. I thought he was substantially better than Robinson; definitely much faster.

I am now guessing he graded fairly high and a team or 2 has shown interest.

Josh reminds me of Emitt Smith's running style, not saying he will reach that level or last that long in the NFL but they run similar.

That or they told him coming back a year wouldn't improve his grade so go ahead and try to get paid another year.

 

[patdog]

I think it's more like he decided he's through with school and playing college football and is determined to try the NFL now no matter what. He's a good enough runner, but if you can't pass block, you can't play RB in the NFL. And he's not a good pass blocker.

 

[Big Sheep81]

Or it could be that the backs behind him will be pushing him for PT. Got a couple RS fresh that are looking good for next year according to my uncredited inside sources. He may not be the starter in 2015. Besides if you remember the articles mid-season last fall he came from nothing and anything in the NFL is way ahead of what he has now. Most likely he is taking whatever he can get and considers it a big step forward to making some money. Hard to fault him for that.

Doesn't mean it's the best move for him, but that's a decision for him to make ill-advised or not.

 

[Old Fart Dawg]

JRob will be good for the locker room of any team that takes him.

Same complaint with Boobie, and his PT is indicative of it. Vick was above average at picking up blitzes and has a job despite his injuries.

 

[dawgstudent]

It almost makes you curious b/c Mullen seemed like it came from left field. Maybe Drew got in Josh's ear.

It was kinda crazy how late Indy waited to place him on IR. They pretty much thought some other team would snatch him up early and hope he comes back healthy. I think next year is it for him though. Stay healthy or he's just damaged goods.

 

[KurtRambis4]

That's exactly why

they waited. If not, he could've been claimed by another team.

 

[Shamoan]

it shouldnt have been....didnt somebody on the pack say that jrob wasnt coming back? and you know how rumors go....we are batting at or near 1000 in the rumor mill*************************************************************************************************
