The argument could easily be made that Robinson was “snubbed” from the First Team, as he had almost 30 more catches than the two receivers selected ahead of him. Robinson didn’t have nearly as many touchdown receptions, but was as value to his team’s success as any skill position player this season. PFF College ranked Robinson as the second-highest graded wide receiver for the season with a score of 90.5.

Either way, Kentucky once again shows that they have their own share of talented and productive players when matched up across the nation’s most dominant conference.
