After he was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, former Auburn OT Greg Robinson didn’t live up to expectations with the St. Louis (and now Los Angeles) Rams and was unceremoniously traded to the Detroit Lions for a sixth-round pick earlier this offseason.

However, as the old saying goes, one team’s trash may be another team’s treasure, as Robinson has made a great first impression in Detroit.

According to Freep.com, Detroit offensive line coach Ron Prince loves having Robinson around and said the former Tiger has been a great leader for the Lions’ linemen:

“Greg has an infectious personality,” Prince said this week. “He’s positive, he’s happy, he’s pleasant. He’s excited every day to be here. Big smile on his face. He’s been an absolute joy in the room. I don’t see anything like that. The guy likes to train. You just look at his body, he likes to train and lift weights and do all the stuff that linemen need to do. He’s been getting himself into the kind of condition that we require our linemen to be in to kind of do some of the things we do offensively. I haven’t experienced that.”

After losing starting left tackle Taylor Decker to a serious injury, the Lions are counting on Robinson to step in and help anchor their offensive line.

They haven’t named him the starter just yet, but everything seems to be trending in that direction for the former Auburn star.
