Robinson stands 6-foot-5, with an arm length of 34½ inches, and NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein described him as a pass rusher with “jarring power in his hands” and having “arm length that is a weapon at the point of attack.” Robinson spent the better part of his career on the interior side of the defensive line at Missouri but switched to edge at the end of his tenure, flourishing as a pass rusher and run stopper. Versatility is always something teams will jump at the chance to have, and Robinson said he prides himself on his ability to play anywhere at any time. “It doesn’t matter,” Robinson said in a predraft interview with NFL on NBC. “That’s the thing I keep telling everybody. I can play every position from a zero to a nine. I play fast and I play physical, so just let me put my cleats to the ground and let’s work.” The Cardinals could use all the help they can get on the defensive line as they were the third-worst team in the league in sacks last season, tallying 33. Robinson was the Cardinals’ second selection in the first round as they added much-needed firepower to the offense with the addition of The Ohio State University wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who was selected fourth overall. Robinson is the first Missouri player drafted in the first round since 2017, when the Miami Dolphins selected defensive end Charles Harris 22nd overall.
