Robinson also highlighted the wide receiver's physical blocking contributions and overall value to the team's running game.
"He blocks his butt off," said Robinson. "He’ll go in there and knock people’s butt off.
He’ll block linebackers. He’ll crack D-ends.
He’ll do whatever you ask him. He deserves everything."
"Now it’s time for him to go out there and show what he’s made of."
When asked about his own potential contract extension during media availability this week, Robinson declined to discuss his personal financial future.
"We’ll see," said Robinson. "I’m not the guy to talk about it."
Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham expressed strong support for London's leadership qualities and development on the team's official website.
"Drake London represents exactly what we're building here," said Cunningham. "His work ethic, competitive drive, and team-first mindset is refreshing to witness."
"He’s an ascending player who has earned the respect of everyone in this building through the way he prepares and performs."
New head coach Kevin Stefanski similarly praised the wideout's approach to football as a reflection of the team's core identity.
"Drake represents all the things that we believe in in terms of how you play this game, how you approach this game," said Stefanski.
