COMMENTARY

Having heard much about Dravon Askew-Henry becoming an instant starter in the Mountaineers’ secondary, Robinson presumed he’d follow the same course the following year after Askew-Henry left early for the NFL.

Then to June 2017, when Robinson enrolled at WVU and encountered Askew-Henry rehabbing a knee injury that postponed pro football.
