What Have We Learned: Robinson And Crawford Belong
by Jeff NewmanA Closer Look

Three weeks into the Washington Redskins preseason, roster spots are being claimed and roles are being established. In the coming days we’ll take a look at what we have learned this preseason and which questions still need answers. First up, we take a look at a couple young players who have made the most of their chances to impress this preseason:

1) Aldrick Robinson and Richard Crawford both belong in the NFL.
Robinson and Crawford entered training camp on the roster "bubble," battling with several other players for only one of two open roster spots at wide receiver and cornerback.

This really says something folks. Seriously, I hope this sinks in. June Jones is very strong at preparing players for the NFL.

I just hope future recruits see this. And I hope both make the Redskins final roster so this will carry more credibility.

At some point I would assume that word will circulate that coming to SMU is a logical route to the NFL. You get to play for a coach who has played and coached in the pros, and has shown that he is adept at preparing players to take it to the next level also. And it also should be mentioned that, due to the Lack of a dominant QB in the JJ era to this point, it can't be said that the players playing in the pros got there playing in a gimmick system that skews the numbers.

We've had some players trickle into the NFL but now it's time for one of these guys to break through and become a star who's constantly touting SMU much like LaDanian Tomlinson did for TCU.

Trickle into the NFL? Trickle? Have you been paying attention horse beater?

Yes trickle, a couple of 3rd rounders and a bunch of late rounders and UFAs isn't exactly headline news. In 13 seasons only one June Jones player has made a Pro Bowl (Punter Mat McBriar).
