Some food for thought and debate!

"Robinson attended South Miami High School before attending Gulliver Preparatory School. He played both defensive back and wide receiver. As a senior he had 11 interceptions on defense and ten touchdowns on offense. As a junior he had 32 receptions for 491 yards and six touchdowns on offense and eight interceptions on defense."

"Heading into his senior season, Robinson was considered a first-round lock. Former FSU defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews said on numerous occasions that, physically, Robinson was just as strong as elite FSU cornerbacks Deion Sanders and Terrell Buckley, or any other former Seminoles.

But after being part of a defense that ranked just 77th against the pass, his stock slipped, and the first round didn't seem like such a certainty. The fact that Robinson failed to intercept a single pass also didn't help, although he had 11 pass breakups and 36 tackles.

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said during Thursday night's broadcast that one of the reasons Robinson had zero interceptions might have been that teams didn't throw his way often, and that he had a good season but not an elite season.

``You expected him to be elite as a junior and a senior,'' Kiper said. ``He was good; he wasn't great.''

Kiper also said that while Robinson didn't have many chances to make plays on the ball during his senior year, he stepped up his tackling and forced two fumbles, making him attractive to teams.

``I was impressed with his tackling ability,'' Kiper said. ``I thought he was a good all-around player.''

Despite not having an interception, his senior leadership led FSU's coaches to name Robinson the team's 2009 defensive MVP."
