The Rams’ receiver group is a collection of players who share very similar traits. Les Snead even called Van Jefferson a combination of Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp when the Rams drafted him in 2020.
All three do everything very well, from blocking to catching short passes to eluding tackles after the catch, but none of them are particularly great at winning contested catches and 50-50 balls. They aren’t the types of receivers who elevate over a defender to come down with difficult grabs in tight coverage. That’s no disrespect to any of them, but they don’t play the same style that Allen Robinson does.
And that’s why Robinson is such a great fit with the Rams. He agreed to a three-year deal with Los Angeles and immediately upgrades the team’s receiving corps. At 6-foot-3, he brings size and physicality that the Rams don’t currently have at the position.
