The New York Giants waited quite a long time to see versatile defensive back Aaron Robinson in action. Dave Gettleman deviated from his traditional managerial style by trading back twice in the 2021 NFL Draft, but the value of Robinson incentivized Gettleman to trade up from pick 76 to 71.
Robinson played his highest snap share in Week 12 against the Eagles. He played 9 snaps against Kansas City, 7 against Las Vegas, 22 out of the bye against Tampa Bay, and 45 on Sunday against Philadelphia. Injuries to Adoree’ Jackson and Darnay Holmes forced Robinson into an expanded role, and the rookie third-round pick played well.
