Robinson’s Career
Robinson initially began his career with the Vikings in 2021 after they selected him with a fourth-round pick … but he was placed on injured reserve just before his rookie season began.
He spent time on Minnesota’s and Philadelphia’s practice squads in 2022 … but he didn’t see any regular-season action.
In 2023, he signed onto the Raiders’ practice squad … and in December, he was finally promoted to the active roster — and he was able to flash some big potential in his limited snaps.
In six games — two of which he started — Robinson logged eight combined tackles and one sack … leading many in Vegas’ org to believe he could be a key player for the team next season.
