The Dallas Cowboys have been busy behind the scenes lately when it comes to getting their rookie class signed. Fifth-round edge rusher Bradlee Anae agreed to terms on Monday, joining seventh-round quarterback Ben DiNucci who did the same last week.
Now, fourth-round cornerback Reggie Robinson has become the third rookie to agree to contract terms, per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
Robinson’s total contract will be for just over $4 million and his 2020 cap hit will be around $792,000.
Robinson will have his work cut out for him if he wants to make a significant impact on the Cowboys defense this season. Not only will he be battling second-round sensation Trevon Diggs and returning players Chidobe Awuzie, Jourdan Lewis and Anthony Brown for snaps, but also veterans Maurice Canady and Darly Worley who were added to the roster during free agency.
Much like Diggs, Robinson is a ball-hawking cornerback as evidence by his 34 pass breakups and four interceptions during his days at Tulsa. Also, Robinson played some safety in college which gives him some position flexibility and possibly a chance to see the field earlier.
During the NFL Scouting Combine, he showed off his speed and athleticism recording a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash, a 36-inch vertcial jump, and an 11-foot broad jump.
With rookies set to report to training camp today, and having secured his deal, Robinson can begin his ascent up the depth chart.
