:starspin Strengths: Is a great athlete and impact defender against both the run and the pass. When bull rushing aggressively and with leverage, delivers violent punches to offensive tackles and has the strength to drive them back into the quarterback. Shows quick footwork and explosiveness to break back underneath linemen with an inside pass-rush and shows a great finishing burst for sacks. Gets inside backside run blocks, comes down the line fast and makes plenty of tackles. When keeping knees bent and using hands aggressively, jolts run blockers, stays free and makes tackles. On zone blitzes, is smooth dropping into coverage.
:starspin Weaknesses: Production does not match talent. Lacks explosiveness as a pass rusher. Is often a beat late moving off the snap. Tends to get upright as a pass rusher and lacks moves, struggling to defeat offensive tackles. Gets too upright against the run; hinders strength at point of attack, causing him to get tied up and eliminated. Does not use hands well to protect legs, getting cut to the ground. Must get stronger and add 10-15 pounds.
:starspin Bottom line: Robertson has the talent to perform much better than he did at Georgia Tech, and he most likely will be drafted higher than his production warrants. He might be best suited to play defensive end in a 4-3 defense, but he has the athleticism to make it as a rush linebacker in a 3-4.
