Armand Robinson of Miami of Ohio ~ 6.1/200
"A frail, thin-looking wideout who doesn't look nearly as big as his frame would indicate. A slot guy only who isn't real explosive off the snap, possesses good speed, but isn't a burner. Displays some short-area quickness to his game in the underneath pass game. Is able to drive corners up the field and quickly snap off the comeback route.
Also, has the ability to quickly/cleanly get out of his breaks. However, isn't real physical and struggles to fight through defenders. Lacks the ability to box corners from the football and extend his arms away from his frame. Too often lets the ball get into his body and doesn't generate great acceleration for himself once he catches the football.
Impression: Really struggled vs. better competition and wasn't overly dynamic in any area of the game. Doesn't look like an NFL-caliber wideout."

"Bio: Two-year starter, awarded all-Conference honors after his junior and senior seasons, leading Miami in receptions during both campaigns. Senior totals included 94/1062/6 after 67/788/4 the prior year.
Positive: Reliable, one-speed receiver who has good quickness. Plays with good balance, comes back to the ball out of breaks, and gets vertical to grab passes away from defenders. Looks the ball into his hands, makes the reception away from his frame, and uses his body to protect the ball. Displays strong and reliable hands, consistently pulling the ball out of the air.
Negative: Loses out in battles and not a physical receiver. Gets marginal results blocking. Tends to round off routes.
Analysis: Robinson has the ability to be a fifth receiver on the NFL level. He must start to do the little things well to have any chance of making it out of camp next summer."

"Strengths: Strong, physical receiver with good hands. Catches ball away from his body and will go after ball at its peak. Strong upperbody - not easily jammed. Very productive senior season. Runs routes well - smooth into and out-of route. Willing blocker.
Weaknesses: While willing to block, could be more effective. Could set-up routes better with head and shoulders. Sometimes will round-off a route, although usually crisp. Lacks elite speed and lower-body strength.
Projection: 7th round/UDFA."

"Armand Robinson has been quietly leading Miami's receiving corps over the last four seasons. The success has finally come in 2010 as the RedHawks wrapped up their season with a 7-1 conference record and have clinched at least a share of the Mid-American Conference East title. Even as a freshman Robinson ranked third on the team with 33 receptions. He also grabbed a team high three touchdowns. In 2008 Robinson saw his role diminish, but he still ranked second on the team with two touchdown receptions despite only catching 16 passes.
As an upperclassman, Robinson built off of his successful freshman campaign and put his little sophomore slump behind him. On a team that was breaking in a new quarterback and only 15 touchdown passes, Robinson was leading the way. He caught 67 passes for 788 yards and four scores. Through the regular season in 2010, Robinson has done a superb job, catching 76 passes for 805 yards and five touchdowns.
What makes Robinson an interesting NFL prospect is the fact that he has spent most of his collegiate career as a slot receiver. At 6-1 and 199 pounds, that is where he will spend his NFL days too. Usually a top receiver from a mid-level conference does not spend much time in the slot. However, that will not be enough for Robinson to be drafted much earlier than the sixth or seventh round."
