Wan’Dale Robinson, wide receiver for the New York Giants, has found a new ally in the pocket—and his name is Russell Wilson. With optimism and a touch of awe, Robinson described his experiences working with the seasoned quarterback.
Robinson noted how an off-season meet-up with Wilson, fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton, and tight end Theo Johnson turned into a revelatory experience. The session saw Wilson zip passes with remarkable precision, something Robinson admitted was beyond his expectations. “The first time we threw, me and Slay were both like, this is actually better than we expected. And so we were ecstatic about it, and couldn’t be more happy that he’s our quarterback,” Robinson shared.
More than just impressive arm strength, Wilson brought leadership that resonated with his new teammates. Robinson praised Wilson's ability to command respect and run the drills with an efficiency not previously seen. He remarked, “The way he just commanded, even just that little session of just the three of us, me, Slay, and Theo. It was just kinda like, we haven’t had a quarterback that’s just gonna command everything, and you know exactly what you want. So, he’s been great.”
Without a hint of discontent toward his previous quarterbacks, Robinson subtly expressed that Wilson represents a step forward. As the season looms, the Giants are hopeful that Robinson's assessment of Wilson will translate into wins on the field.
