He was a fifth round pick (No. 135) by the Jacksonville Jaguars, but as a running back rather than a quarterback. Playing four seasons, Robinson’s best year came in 2014.
He finished his NFL career with 259 carries for 1,041 yards, five touchdowns, four yards per carry, 47 catches and 310 receiving yards.
Robinson began his coaching career in 2019 when the Jaguars hired him as an offensive analyst and eventually moved to the front office. He was hired by his alma mater in 2022.
“I am so excited about coming back to Michigan,” Robinson said when hired. “This place means a great deal to me and I look forward to interacting with past, present and future Wolverines in my new role. Coach Harbaugh and I have been talking for almost a year about returning to help the program, and to have it finally come together is a dream come true and fulfills one of my career goals. I love this University and can’t wait to get to work.”
