New York Giants wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson is nearing a significant career milestone. He currently sits just 99 receiving yards shy of recording 1,000 yards for the first time. This achievement comes at a pivotal moment, as Robinson’s contract is also set to expire soon.
Jaxson Dart Supports Robinson’s Milestone Quest
Quarterback Jaxson Dart is eager to assist Robinson in reaching this goal. Dart expressed enthusiasm for the prospect, highlighting Robinson’s skill and contributions to the team. “It’s huge. Just a milestone in his career,” Dart remarked. “He’s a great player, and I’ve loved playing with him.”
Robinson’s Career Progression
Robinson’s journey has been marked by resilience. His rookie season was interrupted by an ACL injury, yet he has shown consistent improvement in his receiving yardage since then. Achieving 1,000 receiving yards would mark an important personal victory for him.
Historical Significance
If he achieves this milestone, Robinson will make history. He would be the first receiver listed at 5-foot-8 to reach 1,000 yards in a season since 2000. Moreover, this accomplishment would give the Giants their second consecutive season with a 1,000-yard receiver. The last time this occurred was with Odell Beckham Jr. in 2014 and 2015.
Robinson’s Goals and Performance
Robinson emphasized the significance of this goal. “I think every receiver wants to hit that 1,000-yard mark,” he stated. With two games remaining in the season, he needs to average 49.5 yards per game to achieve the target.
- Current average: 60.1 receiving yards per game
- Pass targets: 118, leading the team
Despite the growing attention to his statistics from family and friends, Robinson remains focused. He has reiterated his commitment to doing what is necessary to reach this milestone.
Looking Ahead
As the Giants prepare for their final games, Dart remains confident in Robinson’s ability to meet the challenge. “Just his ability to compete every play is phenomenal,” Dart noted. “I’m going to do my part to help him.”
