Rookies to watch at Dolphins training camp – Miami Dolphins News 7/17/25

With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those clips on my Twitter accounts (or I risk getting blocked), so I’ve used a few other accounts here. Let’s go!

You can check out my podcast feed here to hear more from me. I have a Patreon linked to my podcast if you want to support me further. Due to being unable to share All22 on Twitter, I am doing All22 watch-alongs on every Eagles’ rookie on the Patreon, which is really cool!

Strengths

+ He plays hard every snap and has a crazy high-motor. A few of his sacks come from not giving up and continuing to get after the quarterback. He has a relentless energy to split through gaps and bulldoze his way through. It doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s effective.

Ty Robinson is splitting through the slide protection to put pressure on the QB. He doesn’t quite get home in time, but the QB throws a bad pass that is intercepted. Good pad level and leverage to create the pressure. pic.twitter.com/kgbia2vT7F

Ty Robinson chasing down plays from behind is exactly the type of motor and effort that leads to early playing time. Diagnosed a couple of screens before getting in on the tackle several yards downfield. pic.twitter.com/DOoqQskmWg

+ When he plays with good leverage he has a really strong anchor and can be hard to move. Holds his ground well with heavy hands and good block recognition. His experience playing as a nose tackle will help him develop long-term, even if this isn’t where he ends up playing.

+ Can play multiple spots (nose, 3-tech, 4i) and fits a variety of fronts. Turn on the Ohio State film and after 10 minutes, you have already seen him in several different positions. If you look at all his sacks here, you can see him lining up in a variety of positions.

Ty Robinson’s 16% pressure rate as a 0- or 1-tech is insane stuff. Freak athlete. Eagles found some real upside as usual. I hate to go to bat for Howie again, but it is what it is. pic.twitter.com/OEsK1COXuQ

+ He has developed several effective pass rush moves (swipe, club/swim) and he has incredibly physical and aggressive hands. When you watch him play you notice how strong his hands are. His swipe move is used frequently.

New #Eagles DT Ty Robinson’s go-to pass rush moves are the club rip or the club swim moves. Consistently sets those up, especially when he has that two-way as a 1-tech, 2i, or 3-tech. Crosses faces every time he pulls out one of those moves. pic.twitter.com/h7nB5bdxIz

— Devin Jackson (@RealD_Jackson) May 7, 2025

+ Ankle flexibility and bend are super impressive. He can bend enough to finish the play after getting early pressure.

Ty Robinson showed insane bend at 310 pounds.

At the combine, he was nearly 20 pounds less than his playing weight in college.

+ From everything I’ve read, he’s a team captain, respected leader, and known for being coachable and detail-focused.

+ He tested very well at the NFL Combine, showing better athleticism than expected. The numbers jump out.

+ He’s very good at moving laterally and stopping the run (in particular outside zone runs). He does a great job staying square to the LOS whilst moving laterally and finding the ball carrier. You see this exact play in his film, a lot!

Working on a film breakdown of new #Eagles DT Ty Robinson, and one thing that keeps popping: his run stopping, specifically on outside runs. He consistently beat reach blocks from offensive linemen, at nearly every spot: as a nose, 1-tech, 3-tech, 5-tech. Keeps his outside arm… pic.twitter.com/pJ29Rgnkbq

Weaknesses

– He doesn’t always show quickness or explosiveness in games, despite very good testing numbers. I don’t see the same athlete on film as he tested on a per-snap basis. He has flashes, but it is inconsistent.

– He can play too upright and therefore loses leverage and balance, making it easier for blockers to control him.

– He doesn’t have great arm length, and he can struggle against longer blockers and get outreached when trying to shed blocks. He lacks a counter when his go-to move (the club) doesn’t work.

– He ends up on the ground a little too often for my liking. Some of his reps can be a bit all-or-nothing, and he may have to do a better job of staying on his feet to keep the quarterback in the pocket, rather than allowing him an avenue to escape.

– He will turn 24 as a rookie so he may be maxed out already.

Overall

I hated the Ty Robinson pick when it happened. This has nothing to do with the player … but I scouted 15 defensive tackles pre-draft and Ty Robinson was number 16 on my list! You couldn’t make it up. After getting over my initial annoyance, Robinson was the player I was fascinated to watch. I think he’s the most fun player I’ve watched that the Eagles drafted. The film is hilarious. He is relentless and plays like a wrecking ball.

Robinson isn’t a flashy athlete and I didn’t see the explosiveness and power on film that made me think this guy is going to be an outstanding starter, which is to be expected in the 4th round! However, he’s a consistent, versatile defensive lineman who will give the Eagles someone who can play in a rotation immediately. I’m not sure he has the physical traits ever to become a high-level starter (especially considering his age, he’s 24 years old), but I feel pretty convinced that he will have a role as a rookie and play well. I think he can play on early downs, be good against the run, and get after the quarterback.

The Eagles often reach for the stars and shoot for upside on day 3. This pick feels a bit more of a safe option, after losing Milton Williams in free agency. The Eagles needed someone to contribute immediately. Ty Robinson should be able to do this. I wouldn’t be shocked if he were trusted to take the Moro Ojomo role while Ojomo stepped up into the Milton Williams role. Good teams can’t afford to keep everyone around, and this team needed someone to step in and play. He’s not likely to be a star, but Robinson should be a dependable role player for years. He’s going to be a fun player to watch, I promise you! The energy is relentless.

Thank you for reading! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to comment below and ask any questions. If you enjoyed this piece, you can find more of my work and podcast here.
