INDIANAPOLIS — Long before Jalen Robinette found himself on the cusp of realizing his NFL dreams, before he dazzled observers with the country's most efficient receiving production and before he took his first class at the Air Force Academy, he received the culture shock that most new cadets at the Academy get when they undergo basic training.
Through a six-week summer course that transitions young cadets into military life, Robinette was molded physically and mentally to prepare him for a college life that no other player at this year's Combine shares, and to prepare him for life after the Academy as an officer.
