Darius Robinson's NFL dreams play out in front of hometown fans at draft
Surrounded by his mother, Valori Robinson, his older brother, Reggie Robinson, his grandmother Gwendolyn Lawson, Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz, former Missouri (and now LSU) EDGE coach Kevin Peoples and a few other loved ones in the green room, Darius Robinson couldn’t help but show that ever-present smile after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called his name. “With the 27th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Darius Robinson, defensive tackle, Missouri,” Goodell announced in front of a record-breaking day one draft crowd of more than 275,000 people at Campus Martius Park.
