INTERVIEW WITH WASHINGTON REDSKINS ROOKIE WR ALDRICK ROBINSON

by Lawrence Vos

There is a scene in Rocky II where world-weary trainer Mickey takes the Italian Stallion into a backyard to teach Rocky how to get faster. Before telling Rocky to catch a chicken with his bare hands wise old Mickey says “We need speed. Speed’s what we need. Greasy fast speed.”

Chicken chasing is one rather interesting training method that the Washington Redskins will not be asking their 6th Round 2011 NFL Draft, former SMU Mustang Aldrick Robinson pick to participate in during OTAs.

The Texas born 5ft 10 inch WR ran an impressive 4.35 40 yard dash at the 2011 NFL combine, and far more impressively just completed a record-setting senior year at SMU, breaking a school record by hauling in 14 touchdowns.

Known as a burner in college, Robinson was projected to go anywhere from the second or third round of the NFL draft, so it was with some degree of shock that he fell to the Washington Redskins at pick 178 in the 2011 Draft.

NFL FAN IN ENGLAND editor Lawrence Vos caught up with Aldrick just under a week after he was drafted to ask him about being a Washington Redskins player heading into his first season in the NFL.

Nice story, good for Al. Not sure who thought he was going in the second round though.
