Mizzou's Darius Robinson taken by Arizona Cardinals in NFL draft

Darius Robinson got the phone call of a lifetime.

The former Missouri star went in the first round of this year’s NFL draft as a prime-time pick for his upcoming pro career. Robinson, a versatile defensive lineman, went to the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 27 pick.

Robinson’s selection is particularly rewarding, given that he was one of 13 prospects invited to the green room at the event in Detroit, his hometown. He arrived in a flashy outfit, complete with a blue, teal and purple-toned jacket, black bow tie, glossy shoes and bejeweled purple sunglasses.
