Dominique Robinson NFL Draft Player ProfileRobinson is also a bit incomplete, but his potential is tantalizing. He comes off the ball well, which is complemented by his explosive side-to-side movements and agility in space that make him a lethal stunt and loop threat. Robinson also has a peculiar knack for contorting his body in tight spaces to minimize contact, which mostly serves him well on inside rushes. He has at least one reliable pass-rush move right now as well, with his hop-swipe move around the outside. Robinson is raw and only a pass-rushing threat right now, so he definitely projects as a Day 3 pick. But the ceiling created by his explosiveness and movement skills at his size is hard to ignore. Robinson is the perfect kind of developmental player to stash as a situational third-down pass-rusher while he develops the rest of his game.
