Allen Bernard Robinson II (born August 24, 1993) is an American football wide receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Jaguars in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Penn State.
Robinson attended St. Mary's Preparatory, where he played football, and, in his senior season, led the Eaglets to the Division 3 state championship game. He was a teammate of former Penn State quarterback Rob Bolden.
He was also a competitor for the St. Mary's Preparatory track and field team.
Robinson committed to Penn State on November 29, 2010 after being recruited by Penn State assistant coach Ron Vanderlinden. He had also received offers from Minnesota, Buffalo, and Toledo.

Robinson appeared in 12 games and caught 3 passes for 29 yards during his freshman year in 2011 under head coach Joe Paterno. He made his first career start on the road against Wisconsin in a vital game that would help determine the Big Ten Leaders Division champion.
After losing Justin Brown, who transferred to Oklahoma, Devon Smith, who transferred to Marshall, and Curtis Drake, who was dismissed after a violation of team rules, Robinson was quickly thrust into the spotlight as the team's number one returning receiver in 2012 under new head coach Bill O'Brien. He quickly struck an accord with new coach Bill O'Brien and quarterback Matt McGloin, and subsequently caught 9 passes for 97 yards in the team's first game of the year against Ohio. In the first game since Shawney Kersey was dismissed from the team, Robinson responded by catching 5 passes for 136 yards and 3 touchdowns. After the game, Penn State assistant head coach and wide receivers coach Stan Hixon remarked, "Obviously he's made a big improvement from the spring, and from the spring we saw that he has potential to be a really good receiver. Each and every day, he's getting better and better at running routes, coming out of routes, and also, a much better job catching the ball in his hands. He has done a good job getting separation in certain routes, like we ask him to do, and he's been a really good student of the game." Robinson set a single season record for most receptions in a season on November 17, 2012 as part of an effort in which he finished with 10 receptions, 197 yards, and three touchdowns. He surpassed Bobby Engram and O. J. McDuffie, who had each recorded 63 receptions in a season.
