Back in April, Robinson told ESPN he had spoken to three teams, so it sound like he's just getting started:

"I've heard from a couple of scouts. I talked to a scout from the Seahawks about the possibility of working out. Calls from a couple of other teams — the Patriots, I know a guy from the Cardinals. So just trying to get my name out to see if I can get a workout. We're definitely going to try to do that once I get back home."

We'll continue to keep an eye on Robinson and what materializes as he continues to push forward.
