Robinson was waived by the Cowboys last Friday. A fourth-round pick back in 2022, Robinson did not log a snap on defense as a rookie before missing all of last year due to a toe injury. Despite the lackluster start to his career, Robinson is a low-risk addition with upside for the Texans. 

A former high school safety who transitioned to cornerback as a four-year starter at Tulsa, Robinson (6'1"/205) led the AAC (and finished fifth-overall in the FBS) with 17 passes defended as a redshirt senior. His strengths include his prototypical size and explosive leaps (132"), both which allowed him to body AAC wideouts across 45 games in the Golden Hurricanes' heavy zone scheme. Unfortunately, that was AAC competition, which was far from daunting (and doesn't translate). There are concerns he won't be able to press against NFL talent, projecting him as a gifted project with upside.
