It wasn’t long into wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson’s rookie year before it felt like the New York Giants had selected one of the steals in the 2022 NFL draft.
Unfortunately, his rookie year was cut short due to a knee injury. However, Robinson returned strong last season and will look to continue his upward trajectory heading into the 2024 season.
Robinson recently received praise from Pro Football Focus and an elite receiver from one of the Giants’ division rivals. Now, CBS has named him an under-the-radar player who could become a star.
New York Giants: WR Wan’Dale Robinson
After quietly logging an impressive 76.1% catch rate over his first two NFL seasons, the third-year slot target is primed for even more opportunities, thanks to the addition of the explosive Malik Nabers out wide. With or without Daniel Jones under center, his numbers should be on the rise.
The addition of Malik Nabers is likely going to draw the attention of defenses and help Robinson continue to fly under the radar on the Giants’ offense.
Not only will the Giants’ new No. 1 receiver create more opportunities for the Giants’ slot receiver, but the departure of Saquon Barkley may also play into Robinson’s favor.
It will be interesting to see how the Giants use Robinson this year and if he gets any increased work out of the backfield on jet sweeps or end-arounds.
Although it may be a little strong to expect him to become a superstar this season, given the situation he is in, Robinson may have a breakout season ahead of him.
