enn State wide receiver Allen
Robinson knows defensive
talent.
As a sophomore in 2012,
Robinson enjoyed a breakout
season, shattering school
records and winning Big Ten Receiver
of the Year honors. Along the way, he
faced some of the best competition the
conference had to offer.
And yet he might not have faced the
league's top defensive back in game
action last fall. That's because the
league's top defensive back might just
be a guy on his own team.
Robinson frequently lined up against
Adrian Amos in practice, and he continues to do so as the Nittany Lions
conduct informal summer workouts
in anticipation of preseason practice.
He said that that he and Amos have
been working together to make each
other better.
"We do it more often over the summer
because we have more time to do it,"
Robinson said. "We've done it quite a
bit this summer, just trying to continue
to get each other better.
"With all the work that he's put in, I
definitely think that he's due for a big
year. He's one of the hardest workers
on the team and he's a great film
studier. In my opinion, he's definitely
one of the better corners in the country,
and I think that will be on display this
season."
