The Arizona Cardinals get an impressive defensive lineman with their next pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Arizona Cardinals select Darius Robinson with the 27th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Robinson has a chance to be a dominant edge/interior defensive lineman type.
From Dane Brugler’s “The Beast”:
Impressive-looking athlete with a powerful frame and exceptional length…stout versus the run with well-distributed mass on his frame… large, violent hands to hammer blockers and physically break down their rhythm (Georgia head coach Kirby Smart: “(Robinson) is one of the hardest guys to block in our league.”) … displaces tight ends like rag dolls … go-to rush move is a two-handed bull rush, which creates easy movement at contact and walks blockers into the pocket … gets rolling downhill and closes quickly once he clears the blocker … gives consistent effort … vocal, outgoing leader and twice voted a team captain, which he calls “the the biggest honor of my life” (Missouri teammate Cody Schrader: “He’s the best leader I’ve Ever Been Around…. We went as he went.”)… had a breakout final season at Missouri, including a sack in seven straight games … voted the top performer at the 2024 Senior Bowl.”
Robinson gives the Arizona Cardinals a flexibility along the defensive line that they lack.
Welcome to the desert, Darius.
