49ers film room: Wide receiver Aldrick Robinson
By Chris Wilson
Becoming a complete receiver
In 2016, Robinson worked to become a complete receiver. The 49ers need Robinson to continue that progress in 2017.
Of the assumed locks at the wide receiver position, the 49ers don’t have a true backup for Pierre Garçon — Goodwin is still developing, and Jeremy Kerley and Trent Taylor are primarily slot receivers. Robinson is the only receiver on the roster who has NFL experience running the routes necessary for that role:

Veteran move by @AldrickRobinson to stay alive, and then fight for additional yardage after the catch. #49ers pic.twitter.com/n0vVjpnAHx
