Film Notes and Highlights
Darius Robinson showed tremendous growth as he was moved outside in 2023. He has an incredible power rush with great hand placement and elite footwork. Robinson keeps his hands active, but at times can have bad discipline if he can’t win on the initial move. He continued to improve with each game, and completely improved in the running game. Robinson has a great motor, unwilling to give up on the play – regardless if the team’s winning or losing in the 4th quarter. He’s a high effort player with a tremendous ceiling. I believe Robinson could sneak into the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. – Thomas Christopher
