Robinson

Robinson was kicked off the West Virginia team and went to play in the XFL for the St. Louis BattleHawks before being drafted 152nd overall in 2020. This summer, he started fights with the Patriots in joint practices and even concussed Kristian Wilkerson with an egregious hit. The Panthers were considering cutting him a couple weeks back.

Robinson (6’2/198) was a two-year starting free safety at West Virginia before he was kicked out of school for academic fraud. Because he’s only three years removed from high school, Robinson was draft-eligible despite playing in the XFL last season (21 tackles in five games). He has quality coverage and ball skills -- he played some corner in college -- but needs to be more physical against the run to be a starter in the NFL. Robinson’s off-field character is in question, but he has the athleticism and ballhawking traits to compete for defensive snaps at safety on Sundays.
