DEPTH CHART cern myself or distract myself too much from going out there on Saturdays and making plays with my team. " Although he's tried his best to avoid it, there's no way to tune out the NFL talk entirely. On a near-weekly basis, Robinson is asked by both local and national media about his preparation for the next level, the things he's done to get himself ready, and how often he thinks about what the future might bring after Penn State's 2013 season ends in November. Through it all, Robinson has insisted that he is focused on the here and now. He is surrounded by a coaching staff that knows what it takes to succeed at the next level, and he has been making refinements to his game that will allow him to excel at any level, college or pro. Specifically, he's been improving his ability to make yards after the catch and turn routine receptions into big plays. Robinson is well aware of the strides he still must make, and he's motivated by the notion that there are people who may harbor doubts about his potential. "When people are critics of me, that definitely goes a long way with me, " Robinson said. "There are a good number of them when you look around and you see some things, but I would say that's definitely something that helps me push my game to another level. " Of course, since "the catch, there " hasn't been a lot of criticism of Robinson's play. What there has been is praise. Lots of it. Heading for the doors of the Lasch Building on a recent afternoon during the Lions' off-week, Robinson was stopped mid-stride by a maintenance worker who was fixing a few lights in the players' lounge. "Mr. Robinson, the man said, "can I " shake your hand?" Still very much an unassuming star, the receiver seemed surprised by the request but gladly complied. And as Robinson continued toward the exit, the maintenance man threw one more compliment in his direction – ready or not. "Great catch.
