Michigan's Denard Robinson Still Ailing At NFL Combine, Won't Rule Out Surgery

Denard Robinson said he’s still only about 60% recovered from the nerve injury that interrupted his senior season, and the former Michigan quarterback wouldn’t rule out surgery to correct the problem. “It’s still coming along,” Robinson said today at the NFL combine. “I just got some X-rays yesterday and some examination, and she said I’m going to continue to get better.” Robinson did not take part in the bench press today because of the injury. He said he still feels “a little tingling” and numbness in his right arm, and he’ll consult with Michigan trainer Paul Schmidt about his options when he returns to Ann Arbor. After a rough week catching passes and fielding kicks and punts at the Senior Bowl, Robinson said he feels more comfortable in his new roles and is looking forward to showing that during Sunday’s position drills and at his pro day next month. He said he’ll throw at Michigan’s pro day next month, but teams he’s met with so far mostly view him as a receiver and return specialist. “My vision is to try to be the best I can possibly be when I get to the NFL,” Robinson said. “Wherever a team puts me at, that’s what I’m going to work my tail off to be. And whatever they ask me to do, that’s what I’m going to do.” Source: Detroit Free Press
