Darius Robinson, DL, Missouri

Height/Weight: 6-5, 285

Age: 22.7

Strengths

  • Power: Shocks the pads of offensive lineman with strong wins at the point of attack
  • Heavy Hands: Makes his presence felt with grip strength that can knock tackles off balance
  • Length: Uses his height and arm length to create leverage advantages at the junction point

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

  • Eyes: Can get caught sorting trash opposed to attacking the mesh point
  • Juice-Twitch: Not a lot of explosion in terms of his first step or ability to bend a corner
  • Change of Direction: Labors when asked to move horizontally including surfing zone reads

Evaluation:

Teams looking for a heavy defensive end in four down lineman schemes or a five technique in three down lineman schemes will covet Robinson’s skills. A powerful defender that can blow offensive lineman off the ball with powerful hands, he projects to a be a bully on pass downs with viability as a run defender.
