First-team All-American Athletic Conference. Led team with 8.5 TFLs, 6.5 sacks. Started all 13 games (64 tackles).Miscellaneous: Attended the Naval Academy Prep School in 2021. Father, Lance, was a gymnast at Kent State.Draft ProjectionRounds 6-7OverviewRobinson might not possess ideal measurables, but don’t ignore his game tape. He’s small by NFL standards, but he’s strong. It takes a low pad level to neutralize his leverage and move him at the point. He’s typically quicker than opponents when activated in slanting, stemming fronts. While his sack production might not translate, he's disruptive when active. Robinson has the talent to grab a roster spot as a 1-technique in the right scheme.StrengthsUpper-body strength to quickly press and shed.Difficult for O-linemen to find leverage to displace him with single blocks.Above average playing around blocks and into gaps.Stays square and corkscrews post leg into ground to anchor.Effective use of space to separate from blockers as a rusher.Good lateral quickness as a looper in rush games.Difficult to redirect him once he hits an edge.WeaknessesStubby frame with a lack of length that falls below NFL norms.Will get engulfed by a properly fit double-team block.Small margin for error in the first phase against run blocks. Needs to improve his hand work as a pro pass rusher. Report

April 25Apr 25 comment_1826921 Maybe too small for the NFL…but definitely too big for an Ohio-class nuclear sub Report
April 25Apr 25 Author comment_1826940 I predict he will quickly become a fan favorite for his gutsy play and story. Also the Navy can give him a deferment on his service so he can play in the NFL right away. I would imagine that's already been secured before the Bengals drafted him. Report
