I was wrong.
I felt strongly in 2018 that Allen Robinson would break the all-time receiving yardage record in franchise history before all was said and done. Robinson’s talent, often underestimated, leapt off the screen from his days in Jacksonville catching passes from Blake Bortles. Despite coming off a torn ACL, Robinson represented all the things the Bears lacked in 2017:
· Excellent route running ability
· Contested ball skills
· History of WR1 production
For those that forget, Kendall Wright led the 2017 Bears in yards with 614. Josh Bellamy followed with 376.
