Strengths

Played wide receiver for his first three seasons. Recruited as an athlete/quarterback. Ideal overall frame. Top-tier explosiveness. Fluid and twitchy movement skills. Tremendous acceleration/burst. Active hands to knock down the reach of offensive tackles on the speed rush. Very good bend at the top of the rush. Great ability to slip blocks with quickness. Maximizes length by extending onto the shoulders of offensive linemen. Works hard to get off blocks. Impressive ability to flash inside across the face of blockers and pursue down the line of scrimmage. Excellent speed in pursuit. Plus natural strength and toughness shown when crashing inside. Very efficient on stunts. Has shaded inside as a three-technique. Experience on both sides of the formation. Very comfortable dropping in coverage. Has the size and skillset to match tight ends. Played great versus Minnesota and blew up multiple plays as a run defender (2021).

 

Weaknesses

Thinner build in upper body. Limited disengage strength when opponents lock on. Limited experience setting the edge. Instincts are still a work in progress and will sometimes lose track of the ball. Could have improved discipline as a backside defender to prevent bounce back runs. Needs to develop/plan more counter moves. Rush arsenal in general is lacking. Would like to see him unleash as more of a playmaker.

Conclusion

Overall, Robinson is an explosive, athletic edge defender that brings major developmental upside with only two years at the position. He should be drafted on Day 2 based on his tools.
