The NFL draft can be a volatile process. Things can change during the pre-draft process and even mid-round. Former NFL FB Michael Robinson experienced that firsthand in 2006. He thought he was going to be drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round. Instead, he ended up a member of the San Francisco 49ers via their fourth-round pick.

Robinson was on the Wednesday episode of the NFL Total Access podcast to discuss the NFC North. Most of the NFL world’s attention has turned to the draft since it’s later in April. He discussed his draft process and the feeling of elation and despair that came in the third round.
