Robinson says his younger teammate Miller has matured in the offseason, particularly when receiving coaching. Miller battled inconsistency in 2019 but came on strong in the final stretch of the season.
"Whether it's coming from coach [Matt] Nagy or coming from [Bill] Lazor or coming from coach [Mike] Furrey, he's being able to apply that very soon," said Robinson. "Whether it's how to run a specific route or something to see, he's able to really adjust to that and take that coaching and get it done expeditiously. I think that's something in this league that you want to be able to do. You want to be able to correct small little things that may make the play be better right then when you can do it."
The receiving corps received a little more certainty about the offense this weekend when Mitchell Trubisky was named the team's starting quarterback over offseason acquisition Nick Foles. Robinson felt that the competition played out evenly.
"I wasn't scrutinizing the quarterback competition too much at all," said Robinson. "I know the biggest thing for myself was just focusing on how I can be a better player and be a better receiver and also how I can lead the group. At the same time, it was nothing that would have told me to lean one way or the other."
Miller believes that Trubisky improved over the offseason.
"With Trubisky being the starter, we've been getting better this camp," said Miller. "I've been seeing changes in him that I've never seen before. We're just eager to get to the season. We're ready to play the Lions."
Miller cited Trubisky's improvement with his footwork and decision-making as the principal changes he saw in the fourth-year quarterback. Robinson believes that Trubisky's work ethic and determination won him the job.
"Training with Mitch early in the spring and leading up into training camp," said Robinson, "I was out there all those days with him when he was putting in the work. Constantly. Some days there may just be a couple of us out there. I mean, to see him start is not surprising at all. When you put in the work, you get the results."
