Robinson

Robinson gives the Redskins insurance with Trent Williams holding out. They also had free agent Donald Penn in for a visit, but Robinson will get the first shot. Washington will be in trouble if Robinson is forced into 2019 starts.

Robinson suffered a foot injury during the summer. He appeared in 14 games last season, making three starts. With LT Taylor Decker still working his way back from shoulder surgery, Robinson could provide some needed depth behind struggling LT Greg Robinson. Robinson will be back within the next couple weeks.

He was Detroit’s last pick in the draft. Robinson is a gifted athlete for his size but is still a bit of a project. A former defensive tackle, Robinson has only been playing left tackle since his sophomore year at South Carolina.

Robinson (6'7/324) converted from defensive tackle to left tackle as a sophomore, where he piled up 35 career starts. Robinson showed freak athleticism for his mammoth size at the Gamecocks’ Pro Day, running 5.29/5.30 with a 31-inch vertical. A massive human with 35 5/8-inch arms and 10 3/4-inch hands, Robinson also scored a 40 on the Wonderlic test. While Robinson is a project, he has traits that are not coachable. He’s drawn some comparisons to Chargers LT King Dunlap.

Robinson started eight games for the Lions over the past three seasons, grading poorly across the board at Pro Football Focus. He’s still much needed depth for the Panthers, as left tackle Matt Kalil (knee scope) and right tackle Daryl Williams (knee, MCL) are still injured and questionable for the season opener versus Dallas. Taylor Moton will start on the opposite side of Robinson.
