Ellis Robinson IV

How you want a cornerback prospect to look these days with his length and speed. A two-year starter at IMG Academy that opposing quarterback’s shied away from – and for good reason. Swallows up wide receivers out on the perimeter as he uses the sideline to his advantage while maintaining phase. Has valuable experience working in man and zone coverage. Isn’t one that has been asked to press a bunch and engage in hand-to-hand combat, but will get physical at the top of routes and try to get his assignment off schedule. Loves to bait signal callers into making poor decisions and has the burst to jump in front of a ball to create a takeaway. Serviceable as an open-field tackler, but could get a little bit better at fighting through blocks to provide run support. Might not have a decorated track and field background, but testing profile in the percentile as he posted a 4.5-second effort in the 40-yard dash to go along with a 36-inch vertical jump. Also has some of the longest arms we have come across in the cycle, which is certainly notable. Projects as a potential CB1 for a College Football Playoff regular that can shut down one side of the field. Might need a semester or two to find his footing, but it wouldn't be shocking to see him push for playing time sooner rather than later. Day 1 of the NFL Draft upside based on the game tape and dozens of in-person evaluations.
