Draft Profile: Bio
A Birmingham native, Quandarrius Robinson (Que) arrived at Alabama as a highly-touted four-star recruit, ranked as the top player in Alabama by multiple services. His path to playing time required patience, developing behind NFL talents Will Anderson Jr., Dallas Turner, and Chris Braswell. Originally recruited as a safety, Robinson's frame and athleticism allowed for a successful transition to edge rusher.Through his Alabama career, Robinson showed steady progression in his development. After contributing primarily on special teams his first three seasons, he emerged as a defensive playmaker in 2024, recording 20 tackles, including team-highs with seven tackles for loss (-40 yards) and four sacks (-34 yards). His special teams experience proved valuable, demonstrating his willingness to contribute in multiple phases.
Robinson's high school career at Jackson-Olin showcased his athletic potential, recording 40 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, and eight sacks as a junior before an injury shortened his senior season. His recruitment generated significant interest, with invites to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and Nike's The Opening Finals highlighting his elite prospect status.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional length and frame at 6'5" with room to add mass, providing ideal physical traits for an NFL edge defender with extensive reach to challenge tackles
- Displays impressive bend and flexibility for his height, consistently showing ability to turn the corner and maintain leverage despite tall frame
- Versatile background as former safety translates to fluid movement skills in coverage, offering scheme flexibility as stand-up linebacker or hand-down end
- Strong special teams experience through multiple seasons at Alabama demonstrates core special teams value and willingness to contribute in all phases
- Shows natural explosion off the edge with an impressive first step, converting speed to power effectively when engaging offensive tackles
- Disciplined edge setter who maintains containment responsibilities and shows good awareness tracking ball carriers in the run game
- Multiple-year contributor in elite SEC program with steady progression each season, indicating potential for continued development at next level
- Clean injury history since high school with durability demonstrated through consistent availability in both defensive and special teams roles
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Still developing overall play strength and needs to continue adding functional mass to his frame to hold up consistently against NFL offensive tackles
- Pass rush plan can become predictable, requiring expansion of counter moves and development of a more diverse rush arsenal
- Can struggle to disengage quickly when blockers get into his frame, needs to improve hand usage and shed timing
- Limited starting experience with only one season as primary contributor, raising questions about readiness for immediate significant defensive role
- Run defense technique remains inconsistent, particularly when reading blocking schemes and maintaining proper gap discipline against complex run concepts
Scouting Report: Summary
Raw but toolsy edge defender with the frame and twitch to develop into a situational pass rusher. Shows juice off the edge with natural bend and flexibility uncommon for his length. Still needs significant technical refinement in his pass rush arsenal and play strength development before handling meaningful defensive snaps.The former safety background shows up in his movement skills, particularly in space, making him scheme-versatile as either a stand-up OLB or hand-in-the-dirt edge. Four-phase special teams ability provides immediate roster value while the defensive skills develop. Current skill set best suits him as a designated pass rusher in sub-packages where his get-off and length can be maximized without exposing run game limitations.
Day 3 developmental prospect who needs a redshirt year in an NFL strength program. Ceiling will be determined by technical growth and adding mass to his frame. Core special teamer early with potential to crack the rotation as a situation-specific rusher by year two if development tracks.
