Robinson catches on in Baltimore.(Chicago Tribune)
Byline: John Mullin
CHICAGO _ Marcus Robinson can laugh about it all now. And he is.
The Bears released the wide receiver last April in a move that left him hurt and confused. Now he will start for the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday against the Tennessee Titans in the first round of the AFC playoffs.
Last season, Robinson endured the Champaign experience with his teammates. This season, he delighted in calling old mates Marty Booker and Ahmad Merritt from a Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where the Ravens put up their entire 80-man roster during one preseason game, or from a beachside resort in San Diego when the franchise sent the team out Wednesday for a Sunday game.
"I had to let `em know I was doing OK," Robinson said, laughing.
Robinson is indeed doing OK. When the Bears decided he had little left after back and knee surgeries, Robinson signed a one-year, $600,000 contract with the Ravens. He struggled, at times, but emerged as a starter for the final five games of the season, all Baltimore victories, and finished with 35 receptions.
In the Ravens' Nov. 23 game against Seattle, Robinson flashed some of the greatness that appeared within his grasp in Chicago. He caught seven passes, including a career- and franchise-high four for touchdowns from Anthony Wright, his quarterback when the two played at South Carolina.
