Rams Trade Former No. 2 Pick Greg Robinson To Detroit
Robinson started 42 of a possible 46 games in his three seasons with the Rams.
LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Rams announced Thursday they traded offensive lineman Greg Robinson to the Detroit Lions for an undisclosed choice in the 2018 NFL draft.
The 6-foot-5-inch Robinson started 14 of 16 games during the 2016 season. He was not active for the Nov. 27 game at New Orleans because "he needed a break," then-coach Jeff Fisher said and the Dec. 24 game against San Francisco after the coaching staff decided to make "a little bit of change to our offensive line just to try to get something going in the run game and to shore up some protection," then-interim coach John Fassel said.
The Rams selected Robinson with the second overall choice in the 2014 draft out of Auburn. He started 42 of a possible 46 games in his three seasons with the team.
