Seems like a pretty well rounded WR. Gets open, good size, hands, toughness. What's not to like

48.4% catch percentage last season...compared to Deebo at 63%. YAC avg for Robinson per reception is 2.3...Deebo is 8.3 as his lowest season. He's more a twin J.Jennings type of receiver...not sure we needed another one of those to play the same role.

One is catching a lot more 5 yard and under passes than the other. Easier to catch the short stuff.

Robinson is a speed guy, not a YAC machine. It's not a bad thing to move away from Deebo based offense. Give his snaps to Pearsall and Cowing. Less tackle breaking but more speed.

Robinson as a speed guy ran a 4.59 40 as a rookie and that was nearly a decade ago, he's 30 now. He's a great rout runner and had a QB who could needle a downfield pass into him before coverage could catch up as well as anyone in the league but lets not expect Purdy to do the same with his arm strength.
Yea this dude and JJ are the same guy
