Giants WR Allen Robinson II: Hoop Dreams, Pancakes, Coffee, Malik Nabers & Route-Running Expertise

Giants wide receiver Allen Robinson II, a Pro Bowler and 11th-year veteran, stops by Ep. 130 of Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard to dish on his basketball skills, his love for coffee and pancakes, Brian Daboll's receiver-friendly offense and the impressive work ethic of Malik Nabers and the Giants' young receiver room. Robinson @allenrobinson6265, who grew up with former NFL receiver and Super Bowl champion Bennie Fowler, shares hoops stories from Detroit and explains why he is so adept at route-running, which has him charging toward a potential (and deserved) roster spot in New York on Brian Daboll's team.

Great interview. If the Giants are serious about competing this year Allen Robinson makes this team.

Wow. Good interview Pat. Robinson is a real pro.

Great interview. Hopefully we can keep both Allen Robinson and Hodgins. If close i would have to go with Hodgins. Much better tgt/rec rate and red zone success.

Pat have a meltdown on the inside when Arob complementing the NYG franchise along with Daboll lol
