The selection of former Ole Miss linebacker Mark Robinson in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers was a bit of a curious selection overall as the black and gold grabbed a linebacker who had played just one year in college at the position, transitioning from running back to linebacker.
Though there was certainly some flashes on tape of high-level linebacking play from an athleticism and physicality standpoint, Robinson was a serious piece of clay that needed to be molded.
After 17 weeks in the season though, the Steelers certainly might have found something.
