The Missouri Tigers saw four former players take the field in Mobile this week at the Senior Bowl.

Kris Abrams-Draine, Javon Foster, Cody Schrader and Darius Robinson, all of whom were major contributors for the Tigers in 2023, suited up for the American Team and each put together strong weeks of practice. 

One player in particular; however, may have done a bit more than his fellow teammates in terms of increasing his draft stock.

Robinson, a Michigan native who spent five years in Columbia, was named by the Senior Bowl's director, Jim Nagy, as the overall practice player of the week. 

He dominated in one-on-one drills and proved to many NFL scouts why he could be worthy of a first round pick.

Robinson entered the week viewed by many as a solidified day two talent, but this week's performance could certainly change that. 

At 6-foot-5, 295 lbs., he has the size of an elite defensive tackle, but he also possesses the ability to play all across the defensive line. 

He showed both run stop and pass rush skills in his time at Missouri, using violent, fast hands to shed blockers and disrupt offenses. 

With the NFL Draft just a few months away, Robinson could easily see his draft stock continue to rise with strong showings at his pro day and the NFL combine as well.
