“It’s everyone’s dream to go in the first round, but I can’t control that, so wherever I end up going, God has blessed me with being picked by a team. All I can do is stay prepared and ready and once my name is called, show those guys what I can do and earn my spot on the field.” Jared Goff’s teammate Allen Robinson ran a sluggish 4.60-second 40-yard dash in his 2014 NFL Scouting Combine. Despite him being the top wide receivers of that year’s draft, Robinson failed to secure a top rank in any of the event categories of the Combine. But the story doesn’t end here!
The 6’2″ man stepped up! This time, the next day, he ran a 4.47-second 40-yard dash with other achievements. Allen Robinson improved! He was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars in that 2014 Draft Class. And things went ahead for him with ups and downs, as he landed at Jared Goff’s Detroit Lions last year. But now, he is thinking about his retirement!
The season did go well for the Lions. However, the squad wasn’t able to make it through the divisional round. And now as the offseason has begun, according to The Detroit Times on X, Jared Goff’s teammate, “Detroit native and Lions WR Allen Robinson is contemplating retirement.” The reason? Well, talking about the same, 31-year-old Allen Robinson expressed, “I wanted to look back and have no regrets, and that’s kind of where I’m at with it is that I don’t have any. I’ve put everything I’ve had into this game.”

In total, wide receiver Allen Robinson has played 11 seasons for 5 teams. During this phase, via StatMuse, he has recorded 565 catches for 7,058 yards with 43 touchdowns. In 2024, with Jared Goff’s team, he recorded three receptions for 30 yards in 12 appearances. But now, the Detroit native and Penn State alumni, is pondering over his NFL career. So, if he retires, what could be in his plans next?
Well, the athlete himself revealed, “For me it’s more so about figuring out what my future in this game and in this league looks like. So for me it’s now just taking time to evaluate what next year looks like for me in general. That’s kind of where I’m at with it. So I’m taking some time to make this decision with my family.” As per the reports, Jared Goff’s WR is considering giving more time to many media appearances, including the starting of his own podcast. So, let’s see when the time comes for Allen Robinson, and when he finally hangs his cleats up bidding goodbye to the league.
Besides Robinson, there’s another teammate of Jared Goff who is spending his offseason beyond football.
Jared Goff’s CB Terrion Arnold’s freestyle is striking the wrong cord?
“Mom, if you’re watching this right now, your son just wants to say how proud he is of you.” During the NFL Draft of 2024, Terrion Arnold sent a message to his mother, Tamela Arnold. He expressed that he will be a star and make her proud. This Jared Goff’s team’s cornerback was drafted with the No. 24 pick last year. However, he had a fair share of rookie struggles in pass coverage, especially when playing in the divisional round.
In 2024, he was able to make 60 tackles (47 solo), 10 pass defenses and one fumble recovery in his 16 games. But because of his just 6 tackles (5 solos) in the divisional game, he had to face the wrath of Detroit fans. And let’s not also forget his falling from the stairs episode. That brought a buzz on social media, leaving fans laughing at the moment. Nevertheless, this time in the offseason, Jared Goff’s teammate brought another video of entertainment, something beyond football. Terrion Arnold showed his rapping skills to his audience on X, named “SUBZERO freestyle” with a laughing emoji in the caption. However, let’s just say, it didn’t sit right with the fans this time.
As the player dropped the freestyle, one fan straightaway slammed his football skills. They said, “So much energy focused on rap and social media career, not enough on playing CB.” There’s no doubt that Arnold is enjoying his life on social media. After all, the man has just started his NFL career. But as it said, “keep your eye on the prize, or you might lose more than you expect.” According to the fans, the CB also needs to keep his focus more on football than other things. That’s why one wrote, “You put more work into your music career than your NFL skills.”
Besides these, someone else sarcastically made fun of his freestyle by saying, “We really got a freestyle outta you before an INT, but goddamn this sh— a– stay out the booth.” In addition, many are not just happy to see him in their favorite team, the Lions. That’s the reason, one said, “Get the f— off my team,” or “Oh man this is embarrassing, could have had any other DB in the draft.” Seeing these brutal comments, one thing is sure: The fans are expecting some good football from Jared Goff’s teammate. Or else, he would have to face the music for his arguably poor performances. But c’mon give him some more time to prove!
