Robinson has 'a lot of football left' in new challenge with Steelers

The Steelers set out to get a veteran receiver from the start of the offseason. And, by trading for Allen Robinson last week, they've done exactly that.

It makes a lot of sense since the oldest receiver on the roster in Anthony Miller at 28 years old, and among the starters, Diontae Johnson is the oldest at 26. Young talent is great to have. But, the Steelers needed to not only add to the depth chart, but bring in someone who's done a thing or two at the NFL level.

In Robinson, the Steelers are bringing in a guy who's done plenty in the NFL.
