What are you doing, man? Narduzzi recalled telling him. Fish can't be good out of the river. I mean, you can go purchase some fish. There's a fish market down the street right on campus. But he decided he wanted to go catch his own.
In practice, the coaches informed Robinson the river is polluted, to which he stated he "had no idea."
In practice, an avid fisherman, the receiver remarked he loves fishing as a hobby, something Narduzzi agreed with, calling Robinson a "country boy" who is "as genuine as you can get."
"He's just a real kid that, you know, just gonna do what he wants to do or what he thought about doing back home, " Narduzzi remarked.
And it wasn't as if he had only one long return. His career long is 35 yards, and he has at least four returns of 20 yards or more.
He hopes to contribute on the field more this season – and maybe catch some fish off of it. Just not from the Monongahela.
