2025 NFL Draft Profile: Alabama Edge Rusher Que Robinson

Birmingham product Que Robinson looks to keep a Crimson Tide streak alive this week as the NFL draft commences in Green Bay. The Crimson Tide has seen edge rushers selected in each of the last two NFL drafts with Will Anderson and Dallas Turner going in the first round in back-to-back drafts and Chris Braswell selected in the second round last year.

Robinson is a lengthy veteran defender who leaves Tuscaloosa with numerous skills he can offer an NFL team. The edge rusher served on special teams faithfully over the last four seasons and a became a rotational pass rusher on defense.

He plays a premium position and offers versatility to teams looking for special teams help. Robinson's natural arm length will intregue teams and invite them to overlook the lack of standout production at the Capstone.

What They're Saying

He flashes range as a run defender and short-area quickness as a pass rusher, but he needs to replace his hands consistently on his get-off and become comfortable countering once initially blocked. Overall, Robinson is a traits-based, tweener prospect with potential as an edge setter, although his lack of development is going to stick out like a sore thumb next to NFL players in training camp. His saving grace is his coverage talent on special teams, which might keep him on a roster as he grows as a defender.

The Last Word

"I think Que holds the standard of urgency, practice habits, discipline that it takes to do that role and to play that position because there’s a lot of things that we ask that guy to do in terms of being a part of a run fit, dropping out in coverage, folding back inside, blitzing off the edge. All those different skill sets that are required, and there’s also a lot mentally that those guys need to be locked into.

"I think Que’s really set the standard of the urgency that we have to have to be discipline to do your job in that role. But then there’s also just a level of energy that he brings and effort that he brings to practice, and it shows up on game day in terms of some of the physicality and effort that he’s showing.
