Allen Robinson Was Shocked On His First Impression of Trubisky

The Chicago Bears signed wide receiver Allen Robinson for obvious reasons. He's a 24-year old former Pro Bowler at the position that was worst in the NFL for them last year. He represents a titanic upgrade if that knee proves 100% and exactly what quarterback Mitch Trubisky needs to take that next step. Yet it's not only the Bears who were scouting Robinson. The receiver admitted that during his rehab in Jacksonville he was expecting to become a free agent. That meant he should scout potential teams he could sign with when the time came. As the season progressed he took notice of what was happening in Chicago. Though the passing game struggled, he saw certain traits that he liked about Trubisky. So when the Bears came calling it wasn't that difficult of a sell for him. One would think he knew what to expect upon arrival from Trubisky. Yet it appears the receiver is finding out that the film isn't doing the quarterback justice.

Allen Robinson beyond impressed with Trubisky's talent and potential

Robinson is currently rehabbing his knee and all expectations are he'll be ready for training camp. In the meantime, he's worked on the sideline and ensconced himself in the new offense while watching Trubisky operate. Appearing on the McNeil & Perkins Show on 670 The Score, he offered his impressions thus far.

"Each and every day, he does something different to really make you say 'Wow'. He has an incredible delivery as far as how the ball comes out. He has a tremendous arm, and that's something I picked up early. He can make any throw on the field, and he's an athletic dude. You don't really get that combination at the quarterback that much. Sometimes it's one or the other. For him to have both and being very knowledgeable under center, I think the sky's the limit for him. And he's a guy who comes in and puts the work in every day."

Accuracy is the buzzword around Trubisky. It's no doubt a big one with Robinson. During his entire run with the Jacksonville Jaguars, quarterback accuracy was a constant issue. Blake Bortles is a big and strong guy under center, but ball placement wasn't a strength of his game. Something Robinson had to deal with for years. It grew deeply frustrating.

Despite a lower completion percentage, there were plenty of examples last season of how precise Trubisky could be with the football. All he needs is a better offensive system and the weapons to bring out his best. Robinson is anxious to be part of it. If nothing else he can rest assured the ball will be put in the vicinity where he can get it. In the end, that's all most wide receivers ask for.
