Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Allen Robinson is headed to Hawaii for next week's Pro Bowl ready to soak up the experience.

 

The two-year veteran, who caught 80 passes for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns, was named to the Jan. 31 all-star game two weeks ago as a replacement for Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson.

 

“It’s a special thing,” Robinson said. “When you look at the list: Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, A.J. Green, Brandon Marshall, Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson … all of these guys are probably future Hall of Famers. It’s real special for this to be my second year and even to be in that category with those guys.”

Robinson, a 2014 second-round pick, said he isn't taking the honor of being chosen to play in the game lightly.

If 2015 was any indication, the 22-year-old Robinson should find himself included among the game's top receivers for many years to come.
