Aged 37, Robinson spent the last five seasons in Los Angeles, taking on roles such as assistant quarterbacks coach in 2019 and 2021, assistant receivers coach in 2020, and quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator in the last two years.

Prior to his tenure with the Rams, Robinson worked as a senior analyst at Pro Football Focus, focusing on evaluating both professional and collegiate quarterbacks.

Robinson, a former three-year starting quarterback at Oklahoma State University from 2005-2009, was selected in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots. He also had brief professional stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions, and Cincinnati Bengals.

In Atlanta, Robinson will assume control of an offense that held the 17th position in total yards per game, the 26th spot in points, the 22nd position in passing yards, and the 9th position in rushing yards.

While his primary responsibility is to revitalize the offense, Robinson’s current focus is on fulfilling his duties as a dad and handling the practical aspects of relocating cross-country.
