Robinson Drafted

The Washington Redskins selected former SMU wide receiver Aldrick Robinson with the 13th pick of the sixth round in this weekend’s NFL Draft.

Robinson was the 178th pick overall and the third Mustang to be drafted in the last three years. He finished the 2010 season at SMU with 1,301 yards receiving and a Mustang record 14 touchdowns.

Robinson compiled 3,314 yards during his time on the Hilltop which is second all-time in SMU history behind Emmanuel Sanders, who was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. Sanders helped lead Pittsburgh to Super Bowl XLV this season. Robinson hopes to follow in his footsteps and excel during his rookie campaign.

Prior to being drafted, Robinson impressed scouts at the NFL Combine, where he ran a 4.35 in the 40. Robinson also recorded a 10-6 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 17 times.
