Rashard Robinson
Role:
San Francisco 49ers cornerback Rashard Robinson will be a rotational player at the outside corner position. His ability to press and play man coverage is something the 49ers have lacked for quite some time. Although having a history of off-field issues, if he can clean that up, Robinson has an opportunity to shine.
Depth Chart:
Rotational with the ability to become a starter.
Impact:
One to two seasons. If Robinson cleans up his off-field issues, look for his impact to be felt sooner rather than later.
Stat Prediction:
Twenty-five tackles, one interception and four pass breakups.
