Robinson scouting report

Robinson will help the Dolphins deal with injuries to edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, who may need time into the 2024 season to round back into form. Even after Phillips and Chubb get up to full speed, Robinson will have a role as the Dolphins lost Andrew Van Ginkel in free agency.

Robinson plays with explosiveness that has drawn comparisons to Micah Parsons of the Cowboys.
