LB Chop Robinson

(Head Coach Mike McDaniel talked about Jets QB Aaron Rodgers today, about facing greatness. Your first go around to face Aaron Rodgers, what are your thoughts on that?) – “Aaron Rodgers has been in the league since I was like, I think I was 1 year old in his first year, so it’s been a long time, a guy that I grew up watching and I’m just excited to go against him. He’s been in the game for a long time, went against honestly everybody, seen everything, so it’s just honestly going out there and just scheming him out.”

(I know you look up to LB Bradley Chubb, what was it like finally getting the chance to practice side-by-side with him?) – “It was crazy. I actually told him when we were warming up, I was like, ‘Damn, I’m actually on the field with you now. First off, we were just in the film room, out there on the field just side-by-side, but now I’m actually working with you.’ I was like, ‘that’s crazy.’ He was like, ‘yeah, we’re going to keep it going.’ So it’s just a dream come true and I’m just blessed.”

(When you watch the highlights, or any of his tape from last year, what do you notice?) – “He’s just very relentless. I’ve been watching him since he was back at N.C. State, so I feel he’s been the same guy in college. He elevated in some things, but him, just his effort and just going, especially in his pass rush. He’s just going, he never stops. That is something I wanted to take from his game.”

(On Aaron Rodgers coming back from that injury. Some are saying that his age is showing, tell me what you see in this quarterback right now, at his age and the situation the Jets are in.) – “To me, from when he first started playing to now, I feel like he’s still doing things that’s amazing. Especially at his age, he’s a little older now, so just doing the same thing he was doing back then, just not as much because of his age. But to me, he still looks like Aaron Rodgers out there.”

(I bet you’ve had a lot of these moments through your rookie season when you’re on the same field playing against guys who you remember watching when you were a kid. Does it seem like it’s getting old either? Cause it’s kind of like you’re getting your craft going, but you’re also soaking in some pretty amazing stuff.) – “Yeah, I’m just soaking it all in. You only live once. This has been a dream my whole life to get to the league, to not only be here, play with guys that I’ve been looking up to since I was in high school and everything like that. Honestly, I’m just blessed and soaking it all in day by day.”
