Mizzou Prospect Darius Robinson on Rising Up Draft Boards, Hosting Jayden Daniels, & Being at Draft

LAST YEAR MY NEXT GUEST WAS A FIRST TEAM ALL SEC DEFENSIVE END AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. HE WAS A TWO TIME TEAM CAPTAIN AND ALSO NAMED THE 2024 ARTHUR ASHE JR. MALE SPORTS SCHOLAR OF THE YEAR FOR HIS WORK BOTH ON THE FIELD AND IN THE CLASSROOM. PLEASE WELCOME DARIUS ROBINSON!!!!

DARIUS YOU’RE ONE OF THE FASTEST RISERS ON THIS DRAFT BOARD. EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT HOW BIG YOU ARE. BUT LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. YOU STARTED OUT AS A BASEBALL PLAYER AND WERE A CATCHER? HOW DID THAT EVEN WORK?

YOU GOT THE HIGHEST PASS RUSH GRADE DURING SENIOR BOWL WEEK THAT PFF HAS EVER HANDED OUT. YOU SHOWED YOUR ABILITY TO PLAY PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE SPOT ON THE D-LINE. HOW MUCH DID THAT PERFORMANCE HELP YOU SKYROCKET UP THOSE DRAFT BOARDS?

YOU’VE HAD 18 TOP 30 TEAM VISITS SO FAR. EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT YOUR VERSATILITY ON THAT LINE, YOU CAN PLAY ANYWHERE. ARE THESE TEAMS TELLING YOU WHERE THEY WANT YOU TO PLAY IN YOUR INTERVIEWS AND HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?

THERE’S COME CONNECTIVE TISSUE HERE BETWEEN THE SENIOR BOWL AND DETROIT, WHERE YOU’RE FROM. DETROITS NEW D-LINE COACH TERRELL WILLIAMS WAS YOUR HEAD COACH AT THE SENIOR BOWL. EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT THIS AS BEING A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN. TAKE THE CITY OUT OF IT. WHY IS THIS COACH WILLIAMS/DAN CAMPBELL CULTURE THE PERFECT FIT FOR YOU?

ON TUESDAY YOU ATTENDED THE LIONS PRO DAY. YOU SAID YOUR HEART WAS POUNDING WHEN YOU INTERVIEWED WITH THE LIONS AT THE COMBINE. HOW WAS YOUR HEART DOING ON TUESDAY?
