Robinson said he’s willing to play anywhere along the line because “whatever they need me to do, I will do it, man. I feel like our coaches put me in the best position to win, so why wouldn’t I listen to my coaches?”
That’s certainly music to Gannon’s ears, and after seeing his physicality on the field, the Cardinals coach has no problems labeling his newest lineman as a “war daddy.”
“Violent, violent, violent,” Gannon said. “He’s really good in the run and pass game and can win in multiple spots in both the run and pass game.”
The violence, for Robinson, comes from within.
“I’m made of elite edge, energy, details, grit, emotional consistencies. That’s how I play,” Robinson said.
With that mindset, he’ll fit right in within Cardinals defensive coordinator Nick Rallis scheme. Rallis is a believer in rotating his defensive front seven throughout the game to keep players fresh and Robinson’s tape shows they can put him anywhere.
Whether they’ll keep him on the edge or place him on the interior with defensive line coach Derrick LeBlanc is yet to be determined as Gannon wouldn’t provide any insight in his post round one press conference.
Robinson can make an immediate impact to a defensive unit that struggled last season. The Cardinals finished towards the bottom of the league with 33 sacks. Zaven Collins is going into his second season as an outside linebacker and the room still is young with BJ Ojulari, Jesse Luketa, and Victor Dimukeje.
Night one of the draft wrapped up with Cardinals selecting Robinson, but it kicked off with one of the best non-quarterback prospects in recent memory as the Cardinals drafted Marvin Harrison Jr. with the No. 4 pick in the draft.
And the friendly banter is already off to a fast start.
“Oh,” Robinson emphasized over the phone. “We beat Ohio State in the bowl game, so now I need to make sure Marv knows that when we’re talking ball. He’s a generational player, so if I got my name next to his, I feel great.”
