Needs 6 catches and 245 yards to break the single-season records.
Craig Yeast holds the single season record for most receiving yards with 1,311 during the 1998 season, when the Cats finished with a 7-5 record.
As for receptions, James Whalen holds that single season record from when he hauled in 90 during the 1999 season. Those Cats finished with a 6-6 record.
Whalen took to social media to express his hope that Robinson breaks his receptions record.
