Navy\u2019s Landon Robinson (96) and U.S. President Donald Trump walk before a game vs. Army. by Tommy Gilligan-Imagn.com, LLC.<\/p>\n
Landon Robinson, D-Lineman, Navy \u2013 U.S. Naval Academy (5-foot-11, 293 lbs\/Age: 23)<\/p>\n
Landon Robinson is one of the more unique stories in this year\u2019s draft class.<\/p>\n
But, that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not also one of more intriguing prospects in terms of his play on the field.<\/p>\n
Attending Copley High School while growing up in Fairlawn, Ohio, which is a suburb of Akron, Ohio, Robison said in an interview<\/a> with Houston Stressans\u2019 Garret Williams (@TexansCommenter) earlier this offseason \u2014 which can be found here<\/a> \u2014 that he practically grew up across the road from NBA legend LeBron James, and it had a large impact on him wanting to become a collegiate and professional athlete.<\/p>\n However, having also played linebacker and running back in high school, Robinson received little to no interest to play at the FBS level despite receiving about 30 offers to play in the FCS according to that same interview with Williams.<\/p>\n In the end, however, the 5-foot-11, 293-pound (yes, 5\u201911\u201d!!) seemingly do-it-all defensive lineman wound up getting a late offer from the United States Naval Academy (Navy) to play at the FBS level, and he took that offer and ran with it . . . almost literally.<\/p>\n Outside of his efforts on defense, Robinson also had three carries in his collegiate career for 87 yards, which all came on fake punt attempts.<\/p>\n Quite impressive, to say the least.<\/p>\n However, where the Ohio native really shined was along Navy\u2019s defensive front.<\/p>\n In his four years (three seasons, DNP in \u201822) with the program, the former Copley High School graduate registered 153 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery in 38 games.<\/p>\n It was an amazing career for the Midshipmen defender, and one that he capped off in 2025 by collecting career-highs across the board in tackles (64), tackles for loss (8.5), and sacks (6.5), all while earning First-Team All-American Conference honors and being named the American Conference Defensive Player of the Year and the ECAC Defensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n Now, he\u2019s trying to finish off his collegiate efforts by being drafted into the NFL and propelling forward with his professional aspirations.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not often that, for whatever reason, players from programs like Navy or Army make it very far into their NFL journey before things get brought to a screeching halt . . . in fact, it\u2019s not very often that they even make it there or that they get drafted at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n Robinson\u2019s former teammate, safety Rayuan Lane III, was a sixth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars last spring, but before that it hadn\u2019t been since 2020 that a player from the program had been drafted, and that player is no longer in the league.<\/p>\n But, Landon Robinson is a walking freight train<\/a>, and he\u2019s not about to be derailed.<\/p>\n Amongst all interior defensive linemen according to TruMedia, Robinson had the fourth-highest pressure rate (9.2%) behind only Southeastern Louisiana\u2019s Kaleb Proctor (13.4%), Oklahoma\u2019s Gracen Halton (13.0%), and Georgia\u2019s Christen Miller (9.9%).\u00a0<\/p>\n In that same previously mentioned interview with @TexansCommenter, Robinson was asked who he might compare his game to.<\/p>\n The answer might surprise you . . . or, then again, maybe not if you\u2019ve seen the tenacious defensive tackle \u2014 who generally aligned as a shade or an inside technique \u2014 play during his three seasons at Navy.<\/p>\n \u201cI watch Aaron Donald\u2019s film every single night, and that might make me a little bit of a nerd, but I\u2019m not mad at it, right? He\u2019s a player that \u2014 I met him in person about a month ago now \u2014 and we\u2019re the same size. It\u2019s pretty crazy when you see someone in person (like that). It\u2019s like, \u2018Wow. (We\u2019re not that different).\u2019 He\u2019s very similar to my stature,\u201d Robinson said in the interview with Williams.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, obviously, Aaron Donald I watch all the time, and just how he uses his quickness, his speed, and his strength to be able to get back there and make plays throughout his career. But, also Calijah Kancey from Pitt, as well . . . like Geno Atkins from the Bengals, those guys are all undersized d-linemen that have made it work throughout their career just by using their best traits, right? Their quickness, their speed, and their natural leverage to get underneath blocks. So I think, yeah, I watch all those guys. Those guys definitely have taught me (on) how to be a good defensive lineman.\u201d<\/p>\n Those are certainly quite the names to be mentioned with.<\/p>\n And the Bills, given that they reportedly held a private workout with the former reigning American Conference DPOY according to various outlets, would likely be pleased if Robinson just turned out to be half as good as players like Donald and Atkins.<\/p>\n In addition to his background at other positions in high school, the undersized defensive tackle also has experience in wrestling, which is very apparent on the field as he plays with tremendous power and knows how to use his size in order to gain proper leverage against his opposing blockers.<\/p>\n His incredibly quick feet and lateral movement skills will translate, but his size will be an issue at times in the league, and it\u2019s almost like when Gable Steveson tried out for the Bills in the 2024 preseason, but this time the player at that stature also has the skill and technique to overcome any deficiencies.<\/p>\n Regardless, he has a much better chance of sticking around than Steveson could\u2019ve ever even imagined in his wildest dreams (sorry, not sorry Gable), and there\u2019s a chance he could be a solid contributor for a team down the line.<\/p>\n Robinson won\u2019t hear his name until anywhere from Round 4 to Round 7, but he should undoubtedly be selected.<\/p>\n Might the Bills take a chance on the incredibly interesting prospect?<\/p>\n It\u2019d be a great story, and one that yours truly would like to cover further.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s keep an eye out for it, shall we?<\/p>\n Jalon Kilgore, Safety\/Nickel, University of South Carolina (6-foot-1, 210 lbs\/Age: 21)<\/p>\n University of South Carolina defensive back Jalon Kilgore is one of the younger prospects in this year\u2019s upcoming draft, having just turned 21 at the end of January, but he\u2019s also one of the most experienced players coming out of the SEC.<\/p>\n A Freshman All-American selection and member of the SEC All-Freshman Team right out of high school in 2023, Kilgore went on to make 33 starts in 36 games over his three-year collegiate campaign down in Columbia, South Carolina, while playing mostly from the overhang \u201cStar\u201d role in the Gamecocks\u2019 defense.<\/p>\n With that being the case, he was often close to the line of scrimmage covering slot receivers and running backs out of the backfield while also helping contain them in the ground game.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, according to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com<\/a>, the Eatonton, Georgia, native\u2019s next role in the NFL will likely depend on what scheme<\/a> he lands in.<\/p>\n He displayed incredible athleticism at the combine in February, recording a 40-yard dash time of 4.4 seconds, a 10-yard split of 1.56 seconds, a vertical jump of 37\u201d, a broad jump of 10\u2019-10\u201d, a 20-yard shuttle of 4.32 seconds, and he also put up 16 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press.<\/p>\n It was a truly dominant display in shorts, but it was really just a confirmation of what he already put on tape when he was in pads over the past three years.<\/p>\n He\u2019s fearless when delivering blows to the opposition, and he has the long arms and quick pop in his hands to stop receivers and tight ends in their tracks in press coverage . . . which would likely be a welcomed addition in Buffalo\u2019s new scheme under Jim Leonhard.<\/p>\n And, it appears the Bills might think so, too, as they reportedly held a private workout with the former Putnam County playmaker who finished his time as a Gamecock with 178 total tackles, 21 pass deflections, eight interceptions, four-and-a-half sacks, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble.<\/p>\n In short, he makes plays on the ball<\/a>, and he also has the size and overall body build to withstand the rigors of getting his hands dirty in the run game, so to speak.<\/p>\n He\u2019s another example of the many versatile chess pieces that appear to be in this draft class if you do a little digging, and this time that chess piece is deployed from the secondary.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a bit of a cheap comparison considering that they shared the same field as teammates in 2023 and 2024, but Kilgore could conceivably be viewed similarly as fellow \u201cdefensive weapon\u201d, Nick Emmanwori, who was drafted in the second round of last year\u2019s draft by the Seattle Seahawks . . . and that seemed to work out just fine for the defending Super Bowl champions.<\/p>\n Although, Emmanwori and Kilgore aren\u2019t necessarily great comparisons, of course, as the former second-rounder is a bit larger than Kilgore and has a slightly different skillset, but the overall point remains the same \u2014 the two players are able to wear multiple hats within a defense.<\/p>\n In a league that appears to be shifting to a philosophy of being more of a \u201cpositionless\u201d sport, and coordinators often leaning toward utilizing the best athletes to their abilities and not worrying about exactly where they might slot in, Kilgore is just the latest example of that type of player.<\/p>\n He\u2019d certainly be an exciting addition to Buffalo\u2019s secondary, and he could conceivably be a starter for many years to come in Leonhard\u2019s system.<\/p>\n If Buffalo trades down to collect more capital and winds up with picks in the second round, or the defensive back falls to pick No. 91 in the third, then this union between player and franchise just might happen.<\/p>\n Head on a swivel on Day 2, folks.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beau Stephens, Offensive Guard, University of Iowa (6-foot-5, 315 lbs\/Age: 23)<\/p>\n University of Iowa guard Beau Stephens was a solid player during his time as a Hawkeye, but he\u2019s seemingly been overshadowed by fellow offensive linemen Gennings Dunker and Logan Jones so far this offseason.<\/p>\n A fifth-year senior who appeared in 41 games during his time in Iowa City, Iowa, Stephens started 13 contests in 2025 while tasked with the responsibility of protecting quarterback Mark Gronowski, who is also a draft prospect from the Big Ten program this year.<\/p>\n Listed at a sturdy 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, Stephens is ranked 133rd on the Pro Football Focus big board, and presumably could be had somewhere in the middle to late rounds of the draft depending on a team\u2019s specific scheme and how they might view his fit within it.<\/p>\n However, there have been plenty of mid-round linemen who have made long careers in the pros after waiting a little bit longer than expected to hear their names called on draft weekend, and Stephens could be the next in line to do just that.<\/p>\n He has starter potential in the NFL, in my opinion, if he\u2019s able to build up his strength a bit, as he did struggle at times going against bigger bodies at the Senior Bowl down in Mobile, Alabama, in February.<\/p>\n In spite of that, he is a competent pass blocker that shows good posture in his sets while displaying an adequate ability to maintain his balance at most times, and, even though he possesses shorter arms than you\u2019d like (31-8\u201d) at the NFL level, there are plenty of toolsy traits to work with from the Blue Springs, Missouri, native, who will turn 24 in November.<\/p>\n The Bills lost starting left guard David Edwards to free agency this offseason and, despite re-signing Alec Anderson and inking Austin Corbett to a one-year deal<\/a> last week, the team might feel the need to add more depth in the draft along the line this go-around even though Buffalo has Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Tylan Grable, and Chase Lundt also still on the depth chart from previous drafts.<\/p>\n Stephens isn\u2019t an instant impact player, but he seems to be a good developmental prospect that might pan out to be at least an average starter somewhere down the road.<\/p>\n Teams searching for offensive line depth will be looking Stephens way in the middle to late rounds.<\/p>\n Buffalo might be one of those teams.<\/p>\n Devin Moore, Cornerback, University of Florida (6-foot-3, 198 lbs\/Age: 22)<\/p>\n Much like another defensive back that we highlighted in a previous segment, Ohio State\u2019s Davison Igbinosun, University of Florida cornerback Devin Moore has everything you could look for from a boundary corner in the NFL in terms of his physical makeup and abilities on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n At 6-foot-3, 198 pounds, Moore provides length in spades, and he uses that lankiness to his advantage in press coverage at the line of scrimmage and while attempting to get his hands on the ball when it\u2019s up for grabs in the air down the field.<\/p>\n He battled with injuries at times throughout his time down in Gainesville, Florida, however, and that\u2019s the main reason he\u2019s probably not being talked about more as a higher draft pick.<\/p>\n In his first three years with the Gators, the Naples, Florida, native was only able to appear in 19 total games due to various different ailments he suffered across those three seasons \u2014 like a shoulder issue that limited him to just seven games in 2024 \u2014 and it wasn\u2019t until his senior campaign last year that things finally began to look up for Moore.<\/p>\n In 2025, the former four-star recruit, who originally committed to play at the University of Notre Dame when coming out of high school, managed to start 11 games for Florida and was tied for the team lead in interceptions (2) while adding single-season career-highs in tackles (35), pass deflections (4), tackles for loss (2), sacks (1), and forced fumbles (1).<\/p>\n The injury bug caught him again at the conclusion of the year, though, as he missed the 2026 Reese\u2019s Senior Bowl due to having groin surgery . . . which certainly was a disappointment after appearing in double-digit games for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n With all of that in mind, it\u2019s easy to see why teams are still interested in the Florida defensive back.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/USATSI_24988204-1024x683.jpg\")
