Rookie Ty Robinson poised to bring the heat in Philly trenches

The agile Robinson can shift up and down the defensive line, offering crucial versatility as a 3-4 end or 4-3 tackle - a potential big addition as starters Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo are now joined by the former second-team All-Big Ten Cornhusker.

And with Milton Williams moving on to New England, Robinson has a prime opportunity to slot right in for meaningful snaps early on.

In all likelihood, his pass-rushing prowess (seven sacks his senior season) figures to get him on the field plenty in passing downs, though his fast development of late makes his potential upside even more promising.

Adding such a tangible talent as Robinson in the fourth round could very well prove to be a steal. Robinson is older for a rookie at 24 years of age, having redshirted and taken some time to develop while at Nebraska. But that's just fine with where he landed on draft day, a potential boon of a selection if he hunts signal callers with the same ferocity he did on Saturdays this past collegiate campaign.

Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule is perhaps his biggest fan, describing Robinson as "a warrior". When asked by John DiCarlo what he liked about Robinson the most, Rhule replied, "everything".

Robinson donned #8 in his final two seasons playing at Nebraska, and single-digit numbers are typically only issued by Rhule to his toughest players - a true testament to the exceptional grit he exhibits on the gridiron.

Fastly making a strong impression on his new Eagles teammates, Robinson is already bringing the heat.

"He's moving good and he's a big boy," remarked Jalen Carter. "He's here and he's working. I think he's going to have a big impact this season."
