MIAMI — The Miami Dolphins have no shortage of veteran pass rushers from whom rookie Chop Robinson can learn; Jaelan Phillips , Bradley Chubb and Emmanuel Ogbah have all found success at the NFL level and have helped him acclimate to the pro game.
But last week, an unexpected veteran approached him after practice — left tackle Terron Armstead . He’d noticed certain blocking techniques giving him trouble.
The next day, Armstead said Robinson was already applying what he’d taught him the day before; color him impressed.
Robinson, the Dolphins’ first-round pick in this year’s draft, joined a situation that, on paper, didn’t require him to make an immediate impact. But with Phillips and Chubb still rehabbing season-ending injuries from 2023, Robinson received additional reps throughout the offseason. Chubb will start the season on the physically unable to perform list. So for at least the first four games of this season, Miami will rely on Robinson to help bolster its pass rush.
