Allen Robinson gets tattoo to commemorate highlight play
THIS is the definition of egotistical, but we’re not sure what’s bigger — this NFL player’s head or his tattoo.

WHEN some people have a memorable moment in their sporting career, they get a trophy.
Or maybe they get a medal. Or a pennant. Or in the case of a junior tee-ball team, perhaps you get to choose two snakes out of the lollie packet rather than the usual one.
And then there are people like Allen Robinson.
Playing for Penn State University, Robinson took a ridiculous catch to win a game against Michigan, but instead of diving into a bag of lollies and grabbing extras for himself, he did something different.
He got a tattoo of the exact moment he grasped the ball before falling into the end zone.
Two-and-a-half years later, that is.
People must have stopped bringing up his epic catch when talking to him after all this time, so he obviously decided the best way to bring his moment of glory back as a conversation starter was to get a huge tattoo of it on his right side.

It’s a pretty accurate representation, too. Check out how the catch really went down in the video below.
Robinson was obviously pretty happy with how his ink work had turned out, but the same can’t be said for the man who tried to defend him on that play — Michigan cornerback Channing Stribling.
@Prettyboi_Strib all this could have been avoided if you made the play forreal

We think Robinson won the war of words. The 22-year-old’s college career had more highlights than just that one play, though, which is why the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted the wide receiver in 2014.
He managed only two touchdowns in 10 games in his debut season, but had a much better 2015, playing 16 games and making it to the end zone 14 times.
