While Pittsburgh Steelers WR Allen Robinson II may have started his career playing on the outside as a vertical threat, he has extended his career by transitioning to the slot receiver position. As Alex Kozora put it, Robinson’s role on the field will be as the team’s big slot.
Not all receivers are suited to the position due to the intricacies that set it apart from the outside receiver position, though. Robinson talked about the nuances of the position when he joined Mike Prisuta and Craig Wolfley for Training Camp Live after Wednesday’s training camp practice at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA.
