A converted quarterback and receiver who found his NFL home rushing the passer as a long, athletic defensive end.
Dominique Robinson's path to the NFL ran through multiple positions, moving from quarterback to receiver to defensive end during his college career at Miami (OH). That athletic background has made him a useful depth piece and situational pass rusher at the pro level.
