A'Shawn Robinson
in our view
A stout run defender, Robinson is raw as a pass rusher, but his production doesn't always show on the stat sheet - was mostly asked to two-gap, clog things up and occupy blockers to free up the linebackers at Alabama. He is the poster prospect for the golden rule of scouting (traits over production).
strengths
Big-boned frame with proportionate thickness throughout. Powerful core and limbs to control the point of attack and stack-and-shed. Smooth athleticism with the lateral range to mirror and scrape down the line of scrimmage in pursuit. Hip flexibility and body control to work tight spaces. Shows the ability to lock out, press the hole and make stops in the gap.
compares to
Michael Brockers, DT, Los Angeles Rams - Although he doesn't have a sky-high ceiling, Robinson should start in the NFL for a long time as a three-down defender, fitting even and odd fronts, similar to Michael Brockers when he was a mid-first round pick out of LSU.
underwhelming initial move and allows his pads to rise at contact, playing too upright and losing leverage. not an explosive athlete and more of a one-note chaser. below average pass rush skill-set, lacking the hand sequence or burst to consistently penetrate the pocket.
Thinks too much, causing him to be a step late. Needs to be more disciplined stacking the edge to hold outside contain and gain body angles. Wears himself out and just goes through the motions on several snaps. Unimpressive career production.
plays with shock in his hands to work through the trash. can sink and drive his lower body to create separation from blocks or push the pocket. strong ball awareness and backfield vision to recognize things quickly. uses his big hands and long arms to knock the ball down at the line of scrimmage. drawing constant double-teams and keep blockers busy.
