With high expectations, Allen Robinson comes to Chicago prepared for redemption, and greatness

Picture this. It’s the 2017 NFL season opener against one of your divisional rivals in the Texans. You’re a franchise receiver in a contract year that’s prepared to rebound from a relatively poor year. On the third play of the season, you make a catch for a first down, but pull up awkwardly with no contact while going out of bounds. Immediately, a sinking feeling comes over you because your worst fears of a knee injury are likely being realized. It’s later diagnosed that you’ve torn your ACL. All your work in the off-season is gone with the snap of a finger just over a minute into play.
