University of Kentucky wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson was drafted 43rd by the New York Giants. Who is he, and what are the Giants getting in him?

“… At the end of the day, they’re gonna see a football player and not my size, not my height number. Moments that played out on the grass at Western Hills High School, amid The Sea of Red and between the checkerboard end zones of Kroger Field prepared him for The Meadowlands. All that hard work meant nothing to most mock-draft makers, nor the butterflies that circled his innards as the second round commenced. Size was the biggest knock on Robinson, enough to push him down mock drafts in the lead-up despite an impressive showing at the NFL Combine. But where others saw liability, the Giants see opportunity: in a Zoom meeting with the front office and coaching staff earlier this week, the team told Robinson how they plan to use him, and that they had intentions of drafting him. “It really hasn’t set in yet, just to understand that my kid is going to the NFL.” He did it all with the help of a first-year quarterback in an offense installed six months prior to the start of the 2021 season. Six receivers were selected in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, and that was a good thing, he and his agent thought, coming into the night.

He has also played different positions in the same game. Just as quickly they dealt the 38th pick to Atlanta for the 43rd overall and an extra fourth-round choice. Giants coach Brian Daboll said Robinson can play in the slot and outside. “What we are trying to do is put as many generating pieces out there to create space and stretch the field, whether it be vertical or horizontally,” Daboll said.

Breaking Down Giants Second-round Pick WanDale Robinson (NYGiantsmaven)

The Giants' selection of Kentucky receiver Wan'Dale Robinson isn't so surprising considering what he brings to the table.

He can use his agility to be crisper in and out of his breaks which will keep defenders from trying to undercut his routes. He plays through contact in his route running, and he doesn't just fall when he is touched while running the ball. "At the end of the day, just another obstacle you've got to overcome just with what people think. On top of his gadget-play skills, he is tough enough to take legitimate hits at his size and continue to show up play after play.

His acceleration is really good, which allows him to stop and start back up, leaving defenders in his wake.

After spending the 43rd pcik on Wan'Dale Robinson, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen cast doubt on a Kadarius Toney trade.

If any other incidents occur, though, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Giants trade him quickly. The price might have something to do with this outcome. On a team that already has Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and Toney, the pick made a trade seem imminent.
