Rashard Robinson, CB, LSU

This Robinson kid has talent!

According to Robinson’s NFL.com Draft Profile, he was indefinitely suspended from LSU’s football program in November of 2014. After that, he was never reinstated for 2015. He sat out, and was still a fourth round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Amazing!

Robinson is a long, fast press corner who held Former Texas A&M Aggie receiver Mike Evans to just 51 yards receiving in a 2013 contest. That is very impressive as Evans was my draft crush that year and a player who has really proved himself at the NFL level, becoming a top flight receiver.

Fourth round picks aren’t throw aways by any stretch, but getting a talent like Robinson in the draft’s fourth round is also rare.

Overall Grade: B- or (7/10)
