Several players on the Jacksonville Jaguars disappointed in 2016, with a majority of the team’s wholesale collapse on the shoulders of the offense. While quarterback Blake Bortles certainly sits front and center as the main reason for the staggering regression on offense, he isn’t alone.
Bortles ascended in 2015 as an emerging star partly because of the strong play by his receivers – Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson. Both players also underperformed in 2016, and Robinson’s struggles in particular were discouraging given the tools he has.
Jason La Canfora over at CBS Sports put together his list of the top candidates to bounce back after a tough season in 2016, and he identified the talented Jaguars receiver as one of the most likely players to recover:
Allen Robinson, WR, Jaguars
There may not have been another prominent player who despite avoiding major injury in 2016, and staying with his current team with familiar teammates, still regressed the way Robinson did.
