It’s that time of year again. When NFL Network unveils its Top 100 Players list, and there’s plenty of controversy surrounding the rankings of players. The list is voted on by players, but some fans feel it can be more of a popularity contest than anything.
Case in point: Bears receiver Allen Robinson, who landed at No. 93 on the countdown. While Robinson certainly deserved to make the list, there are many fans at have something to say about Robinson being ranked below some other notable names and others continue to praise Robinson for what he’s been able to accomplish despite the offensive deficiencies around him.
Robinson’s teammate Cordarrelle Patterson took to Twitter to make it clear that the Bears need to make signing Robinson to a contract extension a priority, something Bears faithful has been preaching all offseason.
Twitter reacted to Robinson landing at No. 93 on the Top 100 Players of 2020 list — behind the likes of Seattle Seahawks receiver D.K. Metcalf and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen — and they’re not happy. And rightfully so.
Robinson thrived in one of the NFL’s worst offenses last season, nabbing a career-best 98 receptions for 1,147 yards and seven touchdowns. That with questionable quarterback play, something he’s had to deal with throughout his career.
Robinson remains one of the most disrespected players in the NFL, and this list is another reason why. He might not be the loudest guy, but Robinson lets his play speak for itself. And that should be enough.
