Robinson made the Pro Bowl in 2015, when his 14 touchdown receptions tied the NFL lead and set the Jaguars’ single-season franchise record. Robinson also posted a personal-best 1,400 receiving yards that year, the first of three 1,000-yard campaigns of his career.

Originally a second-round draft pick by Jacksonville in 2014, Robinson caught at least one pass in 118 consecutive games to start his career. He became the fifth Bears player ever to post back-to-back 1,000 yard-seasons in 2019 and 2020 while totaling exactly 200 receptions in the two-year span. Robinson has 17 100-yard games in his career, including one in the postseason.

Prior to the NFL, Robinson played in 25 games (24 starts) at Penn State, finishing with 177 receptions (second in program history) for 2,474 yards (14.0 avg) with 17 touchdowns. He was a two-time Big Ten Conference Receiver of the Year and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in back-to-back seasons. He became the third wide receiver in school history to earn first-team All-American honors and led the Big Ten in receptions and receiving yards in each of his last two seasons.
