GBMWolverine Football Spring Evaluations: Position-by-Position — Player Profile.
GBMWolverine readers: Here is a brief overview of Jerald Robinson and GBMWolverine’s analysis concerning his progress this spring in our opinion.
Note: We will not evaluate every player on the team and with this position group (Receivers) we will not evaluate #27 Jonathan Keizer, #85 Joe Reynolds, and #96 Baquer Sayed. If you would like to chat about this player bring them up on the message board or send us an e-mail request.
Reminder: Also noted that we didn’t attend every practice and realize things happen during those fifteen practices, but our evaluations are based on what we seen first hand and in our opinion and not what we hear like just about every other site out there that relies on second, third hand information to make their evaluations of the players during the spring.

There is a common word called enigma. We are guessing that this kid drives the coaching staff nuts on a daily basis, and we are not talking about off the field issues, but what happens between the lines.
One day Jerald looks very good and ready to be a major contributor, certainly an outcome that would be most welcome this upcoming season. Any positives are welcome with the talent level at receiver along with the depth issue. Losing Hemingway to graduation, and Stonum not being asked back, has really put the receivers on notice that they have no choice but to step it up this year. If the receivers and Denard do not come through the pressure placed on the running game by adjusting defenses will be severe.
Contrasting to the day Jerald looks very strong is the observation that on another day he is almost invisible and seems somewhat disinterested as well. Let’s hope the bad days are behind him and only good things are ahead for Jerald at Michigan.
Jerald is not without physical assets. He reminds us of a mini Junior Hemingway, he has the same type of explosive moves and good hands to make the big catches. If only he did so with some consistency.
Jerald has very good size, build, and good enough speed to be a very good receiver, but needs to put in the necessary time and effort into improvement and come ready to compete everyday in practice.
