Shipped off by the Atlanta Falcons in a trade before the NFL Draft this spring, St. Louis Rams wide receiver Laurent Robinson feels like he has something to prove every time he steps on the field. "I have some drive, a little chip on my shoulder to just come out here and make plays,'' Robinson said. "Catch the ball on an consistent basis, and be assignment correct, fundamentally sound and mentally tough.'' Robinson is making a strong bid to be the Rams' starting wide receiver opposite speedster Donnie Avery. "I see a competitive guy,'' Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said of Robinson, who was working with the starting offense even before Avery went down with a foot injury early in training camp. "You know when he first got here in the spring, like a lot of guys he was feeling his way through. "It was a new team, it was a new system, but I thought he played really well last (Friday). It was real easy to see that. He's really competitive." Robinson has become quarterback Kyle Boller's go-to receiver. Source: Belleville News Democrat
I have to say I was surprised that the Falcons traded him and then for what they got for him was just stupid. They gave him away.
If he can stay healthy he should turn into a good piece for STL..unfortunatly he hasn't done that yet in his NFL career. with hindsight i wish we had kept him due to Douglas' injury.
