Bears DC Allan Williams has been very pleased with his new rookie edge rusher so far
While most of the rookie attention has been on CB Kyler Gordon and S Jaquan Brisker throughout the off-season, Edge rusher Dominique Robinson has been flying under the radar.
Robinson reportedly arrived at camp in phenomenal shape. He was a fifth-round pick who started his collegial career as a dual-threat quarterback before transitioning to wide receiver and defensive end. I think it,s safe to say that Robinson hasn't been overwhelmed by his NFL moment.
Bears senior writer reported that Bears DC Allan Williams has been impressed with rookie defensive end Dominique Robinson, a fifth-round pick who didn't play defense until his final two seasons at Miami (Ohio).
"So far, it hasn't gotten too big," Williams said. "Each situation, each install that comes in, he gobbles the install up, the things that we teach him. And then it goes from the classroom to individual to group and then, on the field, you see whatever we're teaching."
Robinson arrived at Miami as a quarterback, switched to receiver in 2017 and moved to defensive end in 2020. Last year ,the 6-5, 253-pounder registered 28 tackles, 6.5 tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks.
With the Bears, Robinson is proving to be a willing worker and quick learner.
"It's nice when you have a player that maybe makes a mistake Day 1, you correct it in the meeting, and then Day 2 he fixes it when it comes up again," Williams said. "That's the sign of a guy that's going to be OK, a guy that's a professional. And then, boy, he came in in great shape. You could tell that he worked out in the offseason and really with a purpose. And just the way he runs and attacks each practice, the sky is the limit for him."
