How did Kentucky’s Wan’Dale Robinson perform in the NFL Combine drills?
Kentucky wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson was the first of seven Wildcats to undergo the microscope at the NFL Combine this week in Indianapolis.
Robinson measured in at 5-foot-8, a full 3 inches shorter than his listed height at UK. That matched for the shortest height of any receiver at this year’s combine; Memphis star Calvin Austin III also checked in at 5-8. The former Kentucky Mr. Football winner’s wingspan was 27 feet and five-eighths of an inch, shorter than Austin’s (30 feet). His hands were 9 inches, a fourth of an inch smaller than the Memphis standout.
Here’s how Robinson performed in the combine drills, along with other participants of note. (Robinson, like most receivers, did not participate in the bench press.)
