When the Seattle Seahawks selected Alton Robinson in the fifth-round of the 2020 NFL Draft, his most obvious role appeared to be as a situational pass rusher. Much of his game is based off of a quick get-off and winning with speed over power.
Sure enough, Robinson recorded four sacks and 11 pressures despite playing in only 29% of all defensive snaps during the regular season. In a bit of statistical fun, the former Syracuse player recorded all but one of his sacks in the fourth quarter of eventual Seahawks wins. Obviously he listened to Pete Carroll’s pep talks.
