Round 4: Syracuse DE Alton Robinson
Robinson had a productive career at Syracuse, accumulating 115 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 19 sacks, five passes batted and five forced fumbles during his career. At 6-3 and 264 pounds, he has a good combination of size and quickness that gives tackles fits.
A participant in the 2020 Senior Bowl, Robinson saw his stock jump after the all-star game. During the week of practice, Robinson had some good repetitions. During the game, he was practically unblockable, notching two sacks, multiple pressures and a forced hold.
As good as he is against the pass, one thing that really impresses me with Robinson is how disciplined he plays against the run. That’s a really appealing quality for a young edge rusher and something that will likely attract a team like the Chiefs.
