Player Spotlight: Andrew Robertson

We roll right into the second half of the player spotlight profiles with the other Robertson twin, Andrew. He had the same upbringing as his brother Josh so i wont bore you with a boring childhood. In elementary school, it was clear to say that Andrew was more physically mature than his younger counterpart Josh. The more social, taller and annoying brother was always a step ahead as far as milestones were growing upand by knowing them personally growing up I'd say Andrew was more popular as well (sorry Josh it was only Elementary school). When he wasn't stunting his massive pokemon collection he was usually on the field or court. He was a standout soccer player just as his brother was and actually a decent basketball player. In the summers he was a blur in the rink as he was also from what I hear was an accomplished ball hockey player (i wouldn't say that about him now however). In highschool, he started as a 1 sport athlete playing pawn to the junior boys basketball teams at Sands Secondary. Not a shooter by any means he was considered a perimeter player that played hard D. Lets just say his stroke didn't match his swagger. In his senior year of basketball he once again played role player toa unexpected Fraser Valley run for a newly created groupof players that included transfers Xavier Johnson, Charles Riby-Williams andTaylor Potkins. Post secondary life has seen Andrew play soccer, indoor and outdoor as well as ball hockey anchoring but also gooning up the North Delta Giants backend.

On the football field, his swagger and trash talking is usually the first things noticed. He walks with a hip in his step and brings others down to build himself up. But what does his OLD SPICE SWAGGER say when he gets chirped in a sensitive subject? The answer is usually a variation of the saying " I'm joking man, I love you". This kid is soft. Period. Im sorry Andrew but his ability to Hawk on D and run the go route every down is over shadowed enormously by this attribute. He has fallen to the injury bug twice in the summer campaign and has blamed it on other people both times. If he spent more time boosting his health and not his ego, he'd spend more time on the field and less at home watching Glee with a bag of chips. I guess its only fair for me to say "Im joking dude, I love you". He is 1 dimensional on offence.

He only goes deep and only shows up in the red zone. He needs to get dirty and get to the middle of the field and show that he can catch the ball in traffic. On offence he can play the safety and corner positions decently, but it transferring over to when it counts is of course yet to be seen. Hes fast and athletic but like everyone else has a few a long ways to go to catch up to his once lagging behind brother.

Next day we take a look a the other set of brothers: Quarterback Christian Rodriguez and Tight End Carlos Rodriguez
