The San Francisco 49ers are trading cornerback Rashard Robinson to the New York Jets, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.
Robinson, 22, was in his second season with the 49ers after being selected in the fourth round of the 2016 draft out of LSU. He showed promise as a rookie, starting six out of the 14 games he played and notching 28 tackles, eight passes defensed and one interception, but things went south for him this season.
Robinson (6-1, 176) opened the season as the team's No. 1 cornerback but had his share of struggles, particularly in terms of penalties. Robinson had ten penalties on the season and was replaced in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday by rookie Ahkello Witherspoon, a move head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday was permanent.
In Robinson, the Jets will be getting a confident corner with some untapped ability but one that has shown high degrees of inconsistency during his brief NFL career. Compensation for the 49ers has yet to be announced.
