After injuries to both Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, the Dolphins may lean on Chop Robinson sooner rather than later
While they have a loaded defensive end room, headlined by two former first rounders in Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, both of those players finished the season with injuries. The Dolphins also added Pro Bowl veteran Shaq Barrett on a one-year deal, who is one the back part of his career at this point.
An early workload is what the Dolphins are preparing Robinson for as well as both of their starters work their way back onto the field. Even though Robinson is not expected to start as a rookie right away , he is expected to have a decent workload as a rotational player.According to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques
, Robinson has already attacked the challenge and has fought to improve since drafted. Here is what Louis-Jacques had to say: "He's getting valuable experience during spring practice as Chubb and Phillips work their way back, but he's still evolving. On draft night, Robinson said he needed to improve his hand placement during his pass rushes; after an offseason of work, he said he has '100 percent' improved and has developed the necessary muscle memory at this point."Can Robinson be counted on early to lighten the burden of the recovering Chubb and Phillips? The Dolphins sure hope so.
