Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked wide receiver, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Duce Robinson's strongest measure is target share at 25%, 62nd of 485 (the average is 17%). His weakest is catch rate at 44%, 456th of 485 (the average is 61%).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His receiving yards per game, 56, ranks 102nd among 485 ranked wide receivers.
Against every wide receiver
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked wide receivers he sits, on average, in the 83rd percentile for volume, 25th for efficiency and 83rd for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 8 games, Duce Robinson's best came in week 3 at Alabama and his quietest in week 6 at Louisville.
When it matters
Why it matters. Third downs, the red zone and games against good teams are where drives and seasons are decided.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
National and conference
Why it matters. The Player Index puts every wide receiver on one scale, adjusted for the defenses or offenses he faced, so a rank here is comparable across conferences. Duce Robinson is 136th of 485 FBS wide receivers and 22nd of 57 in the ACC. Next up nationally is Dalen Penson of Georgia Tech, 0.01 ahead on the index.
Career
Why it matters. A player's track record is the best guide to whether a season like this one is likely to last. His best season by the Player Index was 2025 at Florida State, 17th of 1,095 wide receivers.
Wide receivers like him
Why it matters. Players with similar profiles tend to be used the same way, which makes them a quick way to picture his game. His closest match this season is Derrick Salley Jr. of Kansas State.
