The Facts: For the balance of his NFL career, Robinson has been a role player in the Chiefs' wide receiver room. The 26-year-old is ready to put more on his plate in 2021. Joining NFL Network on Thursday, Robinson said he expects a more prominent role this season with Sammy Watkins no longer in K.C. "Every other season, it's (been) four, five touchdowns, 500 yards," Robinson said of his previous production. "I just think it picks up a little bit more right now. I'm looking for the opportunity -- not for them to give me the opportunity -- but go in there and take the opportunity. Go in there and show that I am a guy who can put up 1,000 yards a year and 10 touchdowns. I'm ready to make that happen. They said they've got something in store for me. I'm ready to show them."
Diehards Line:
Robinson re-signed in Kansas City this offseason to another one-year contract. He'll rejoin a WR room with Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman and Byron Pringle. The former fourth-round pick said he had another offer from the Detroit Lions that could have brought a bigger role in a WR corps that saw Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones leave in free agency. He chose to return to K.C. because he felt like there was an opportunity for increased production with Patrick Mahomes. "It was a big decision, just seeing what I could do," said of his return. "Seeing what they saw in me for my role next year, and without Sammy being there, they said it'll pick up a lot more. And they got a lot of things in store for me. I'm ready to go back to work and see what they got going for me."
