JetNation Prospect Profile: Syracuse Edge Rusher Alton Robinson

Continuing to profile potential Jets targets on draft day, today we’re taking a look at Syracuse edge rusher Alton Robinson. After a banner year in 2018 that saw him pick up 10 sacks and 17 tackles for loss, Robinson saw his production take a hit when he became a focal point for opposing offenses. With just 4 sacks and 9 tackles for loss in 2109, Robinson is now viewed as a mid-round pick.

The first thing that we noticed about Robinson is that he does have enough explosiveness to be disruptive off the edge, something the Jets haven’t had in a player since John Abraham a decade ago.
