The Bears have signed DE Dominique Robinson
Aaron Wilson has reported that the Chicago Bears have signed draft pick DE Dominique Robinson.
The contract is for a duration of 4 years.
Robinson was a wide receiver at Miami (OH) until the 2020 season, but he then converted to defensive end. He has only two years of college experience at the position, the first of which was disjointed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
NFL.com's Lance Zierlein compared Robinson to DE Withney Mercelus:
Wideout turned quarterback hunter with the bricks and mortar needed to build an impactful career as a 3-4 outside linebacker or 4-3 rush end. Robinson frequently flashes despite his relative inexperience at the position. He's quick off the snap, using plus fluidity, athleticism and bend to trim the edge and assail the pocket. However, he needs additional moves and counters before he's ready to beat pro tackles. He must get stronger and more technically sound in run support. Aligning as a stand-up rush linebacker might help expand his range as a playmaker in space. Robinson projects as an unpolished gem with a high ceiling and stable floor.
While he may still be considered as a "project", make no mistake about it, he can play some great football! he is extremely athletic. He ran a 4.72 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and scouts had him even faster at his pro day.
