According to Myles Simmons of NBC Sports on Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers have acquired wide receiver Allen Robinson II of Detroit, Michigan from the Los Angeles Rams via a trade. The Steelers become Robinson’s fourth National Football League franchise following the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears and Rams.

In the trade, the Steelers and Rams are trading seventh round draft picks. The Steelers are acquiring the 251st overall pick, and the Rams are acquiring the 234th overall pick. The 2023 National Football League Draft takes place from April 27-29 at Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri. Due to the fact that the deal involved draft picks in the seventh round, and the seventh round is the final round of the draft, then we will not know the players who were involved in the deal until April 29.

The Rams and Steelers have two seventh round draft picks. Los Angeles has the 223rd overall pick and the Steelers have the 241st overall pick.

Robinson played 10 games with the Rams in 2022. He had 33 catches for 339 yards and one touchdown. Robinson’s best game of the year came on October 16 in a 24-10 Rams win over the Carolina Panthers. Robinson had five catches for 63 yards and a major score. The touchdown was a five-yard catch from Matthew Stafford, which put the Rams on top 7-3 at the time.

In Robinson’s career, he has 528 catches for 6748 yards and 43 touchdowns in 110 games. While with the Jaguars in 2015, Robinson was selected to the Pro Bowl. That season he had 80 catches for 1400 yards, and led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches.
