FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Newly acquired Jets cornerback Rashard Robinson was stunned he was traded from the 49ers for a 2018 fifth-round pick just before the trade deadline last week.
“It was surprising, it caught me off guard,” Robinson told Newsday after Wednesday’s practice. “But you just got to go ahead and look toward the future and it is what it is. I’m with a new team and organization and I’m ready to contribute and help us to a Super Bowl.”
One of the major issues for Robinson is penalties. He led the 49ers with eight penalties, which included four pass interference calls and two illegal use of hands.
