The Facts:
The Jaguars list fifth-round draft pick Robinson as a running back, but there's still some confusion about his role after he started at quarterback for three seasons at Michigan. Friday's rookie mini-camp suggests Robinson indeed will play multiple roles for the Jaguars, as he lined up at running back, fullback and wide receiver.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to NFL.com's Chris Wesseling, if Robinson has his way, he will take on the old Kordell Stewart "Slash" role as wide receiver, running back, occasional quarterback and special-teamer. Asked Friday if he remembered Stewart's career, Robinson responded: "Come on. I watched it. He said he's a 'Slash.' He said he can put me at anywhere. That's what I want to do. I want to be somebody that fits in to the team and being one of the team players. ..." Even if it's impossible to gauge rookie tailbacks and receivers in non-contact drills, Wesseling believes it's worth noting Robinson stole the show Friday with two long runs on a sloppy, rain-soaked field. "He was good," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said, via the team's official website. "We're throwing a lot at him." Bottom line? It appears the Jaguars are preparing Robinson for a big role this season as a returner and wild-card offensive playmaker.
