What else to know about Chop Robinson

  • Chop Robinson has been compared athletically to former Penn State great Micah Parsons. Another former Dolphins pass rushing great, Cam Wake, also attended Penn State.

  • Robinson is freakishly athletic and tested off the charts at the NFL Scouting Combine.

  • Robinson was initially nicknamed "Pork Chop" by his parents.

  • According to NFL Network draft expert Daniel Jeremiah: "Robinson is an extremely twitched-up edge rusher with limited production. He has average size but is incredibly explosive. As a pass rusher, he has excellent get-off quickness, but it looks odd because of his short/choppy steps."

  • According to NFL.com draft expert Lance Zierlein: "Robinson is an edge defender who offers the type of elite athleticism we’ve seen from players like Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett. Robinson might not be as fast as Parsons, but he’s close. He’s ultra-twitchy with the explosiveness to get on top of blockers and overwhelm them in an instant."
