Cam Robinson 2017 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A distinguishing hallmark of Alabama’s dynastic reign over college football during the Nick Saban<\/strong> era has been dominance at the line of scrimmage on offense. And many of those players have gone on to get their names called on day one of the draft. Since 2008, five\u00a0Crimson Tide offensive linemen have been taken\u00a0in the first round. Cam Robinson<\/a><\/strong> will almost certainly join them this year.<\/p>\n

Robinson is another example of a highly touted high school recruit\u00a0living up to the hype. The West Monroe, LA native came to Tuscaloosa rated\u00a0as Rivals’ top tackle prospect. He made an immediate impact, earning freshman all-American honors in his first season with the Tide. A year later, he saved his best performance for last. In Bama’s win over Clemson in the national title game, Robinson didn’t allow a sack and committed no penalties.<\/p>\n

Though his team fell short in their rematch with the Tigers in January, Robinson continued to impress. He completely shut down prized edge rushing prospect Myles Garrett<\/a><\/strong> when Alabama played Texas A&M. At season’s end, he was named a consensus all-American while also winning the Outland Trophy, given to the nation’s top interior offensive lineman.<\/p>\n

Despite his ability, Robinson carries some off-field baggage. He was arrested in his hometown last May<\/a> for felony illegal possession of a stolen firearm. Though the district attorney in the case declined to prosecute, citing insufficient evidence,\u00a0there’s no doubting the incident will be brought up by teams at the next level.<\/p>\n
