The Jaguars' Allen Robinson propelled himself into the discussion of the best wide receivers in the league today after a sophomore campaign where he hauled in 80 catches for 1,400 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. But no accomplishment may be as memorable (so far) as his 33-yard reception over the outstretched arms of Michigan Wolverines cornerback Channing Stribling in 2013 as a member of the Penn State Nittany Lions.

The catch was such a meaningful moment in Robinson's life that he decided to get it tattooed on his body.

When Stribling found out about Robinson's new ink, he wasn't happy about it.

Robinson was quick to shut down Stribling.
