Allen Robinson was one of the top free agents available this offseason, and certainly one of the best receivers on the market. No one expected the Los Angeles Rams to add him to their receiving corps alongside Cooper Kupp, but Les Snead and Sean McVay took a big swing and landed the former Bears receiver.
Robinson is a great fit with the Rams, not only scheme-wise as a bigger outside receiver, but also with his personality and character. Rams fans haven’t gotten to know Robinson very well just yet because it’s only been a few weeks that he’s been with the team, but he shared a behind-the-scenes video of his free agency process.
The video is in two parts and is nearly 30 minutes long, going from the beginning of the legal tampering period to the moment he picked the Rams as his next team.
At the 13:51 mark in the second video, you’ll see Robinson on the phone with presumably his agent, making his final decision as a free agent. He then puts on Tupac’s “California Love” to reveal he’s going to be a Ram.

Part 2
Robinson didn’t reveal any of the other teams that were interested in him or the exact details of the negotiations like Von Miller did in his vlog, but it’s fun to see the thought process of players and the approach they take during a huge time in their lives as free agents.
Throughout the first few days of free agency, Robinson was focused on finding the best fit and staying patient.
“The right opportunity, the right team,” he said during free agency. “I think that’s what it’s about, more so for me at this point in my career. It’s just about me being able to find somewhere I fit, there’s a genuine connection, genuine feel. Everybody’s seeing the same thing through the same set of eyes. Kind of going from there. I think we’ll find that.”
