3 – Getting to know new Bills LB Keenan Robinson
Entering camp, Bills GM Brandon Beane was hoping to round out the roster with a 90th player. Recently, Beane and the Bills announced the signing of veteran linebacker, Keenan Robinson. Robinson should compete for playing time immediately, and he will not miss any installments after having been signed before the start of camp.
The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle compiled a list of five things you should know about Robinson.
- Robinson was a fourth-round pick in 2012 for the Washington Redskins and spent three years with the team (2012, 2014-15) and the last two seasons with the New York Giants. In 2014 he posted a career-high 108 tackles including a 15-tackle performance against Tennessee.
- While Robinson will initially be relied upon for depth in the linebacking corps, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him compete for heavy playing time. Edmunds will most likely have the middle linebacker spot locked up, but Robinson has started 30 of his 58 career games at both inside and outside backer.
- While he was born in Omaha, Nebraska, most of Robinson's roots trace back to Texas. He was a USA TODAY All-American in 2006 for Plano East in the Dallas metro area, which also boasts alumni such as the Chicago Cubs' Jake Arrieta and the Fab Five's Jimmy King Robinson started 14 games as a sophomore as he helped lead the Longhorns to the 2009 National Championship Game against Alabama.
- In 2011 Robinson was initiated in the Delta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity and since then has made community service a priority in his life. In Texas he was a mentor at local Austin area middle schools as a part of the Brothers and Brothers program. He frequently works with Minnie's Food Pantry in Plano which provides meals and resources to those in need, and he raised money and awareness for the Harvey Housing Project after Hurricane Harvey.
- Don't let Robinson's 6-foot-3, 245-pound frame fool you, the six-year veteran is quite agile for his size. Robinson is able to do multiple backflips in a row. It was a skill he most likely developed while being a track star at Plano East where he won the district triple jump championship as a junior.
