Then you talk about the contact balance and his ability to find efficient runs sometimes in dirty looks and looks that might not be blocked as cleanly as possible. He gives you an element of the run game that might not always be 80-yard runs, but when you look at how often 80-yard runs are really showing up in the NFL nowadays, pretty few and far between. But what he does give you is the opportunity to still get explosive runs and then be efficient on the runs that might not always be perfectly blocked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Titans WR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RobiWa01.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=nfltraderumors.co&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-02_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wan\u2019Dale Robinson<\/a> is ready to continue his success in Tennessee under the same offense he started his career in under Titans OC Brian Daboll in New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say it is more (about) doing it, and not saying too much,\u201d Robinson said, via the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennesseetitans.com\/news\/new-titans-receiver-wan-dale-robinson-ready-to-do-his-part-in-tennessee\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> team\u2019s website<\/a>. \u201cJust trying to play my part, play my role and do what I am supposed to do and let everything else take care of itself from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robinson has been impressed early with rookie WR Carnell Tate, who he believes is pro-ready.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe comes in to work,\u201d Robinson said of Tate. \u201cHe is like a pro, and he does everything that you want him to do. He is willing to be coachable, and soak up all the knowledge he is getting. I am just really glad he is here with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robinson talked about his growing relationship with QB <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WardCa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=nfltraderumors.co&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-03_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cam Ward<\/a> and said that he\u2019s everything you want in a quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the football field, it\u2019s the arm talent,\u201d Robinson said of Ward. \u201cThe ball jumps off his hand. Whenever we are off the field, he is just line one of the other guys. You want to play for a quarterback like that, that you can hang out with outside of football and just be cool with, and on the football field it is all business. So, I love him to death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Titans RB\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/P\/PollTo00.htm?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=nfltraderumors.co&amp;utm_campaign=2026-06-02_pfr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tony Pollard<\/a>\u00a0told reporters that he remains unbothered by the rumors that his team was considering selecting Notre Dame RB\u00a0Jeremiyah Love with the fourth pick.
