Dallas Cowboys CB Reggie Robinson came out of Tulsa built to play the outside cornerback in a Cover 3 system. At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Robinson had all the size a defensive coordinator could want. He ran a 40-yard dash of 4.44, with a 4.18 short shuttle and a 7.09 three cone drill. His athleticism shows up on his film as well.
Robinson also lifted 22 bench press reps, and that strength shows up in his press-man coverage and how he attacked the run. Robinson wasn’t only a combine workout warrior, he offered production as well.
As a red-shirt freshman he totaled 37 tackles and seven pass deflections in seven starts. In Year 2 he started 11 games and added 38 more tackles and nine pass deflections. After an injury riddled junior year, Robinson came back with an excellent senior season of 38 tackles, 13 pass deflections, and four interceptions.
Hailing from Tulsa instead of a known football factory may have contributed to his lesser draft stock and allowed the Cowboys to draft Robinson where they did.
