Pick: Round Seven, 226th Overall
Name: Landon Robinson
Hometown: Fairlawn, OH
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 293lbs
College career stats (from College Football Reference:) 153 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss and 14.5 career sacks in three seasons and 38 games played at Navy.
College Highlights: Robinson was named American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2025 and was a first-team Associated Press All-American after leading the Midshipmen with 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks.
Bengals Reaction: "Just too good to pass up... He did really well at the All-Star Game as well, that's another chance to play against different competition. That's the opportunity he got, and he took advantage of it. That's all the data and film you have access to. Everybody that watched him, liked it, and here he is" - HC Zac Taylor
Player Reaction:
Draftnick Takes: Robinson might not possess ideal measurables, but don't ignore his game tape. He's small by NFL standards, but he's strong. It takes a low pad level to neutralize his leverage and move him at the point. He's typically quicker than opponents when activated in slanting, stemming fronts. While his sack production might not translate, he's disruptive when active. Robinson has the talent to grab a roster spot as a 1-technique in the right scheme. - NFL.com's Lance Zierlein
How Does He Fit?: Robinson joins a deep defensive tackle room that features free agent additions Dexter Lawrence II and Jonathan Allen, as well as incumbents B.J. Hill, Kris Jenkins Jr., T.J. Slaton Jr. and others. Robinson will compete for a roster spot in the spring and summer.
Did You Know?: Robinson was elected co-captain for the 2025 season by his teammates. He also was featured on The Athletic's Bruce Feldman's "Freaks List" three times over his college career. Robinson was a four-sport athlete in high school, competing in football, baseball, track & field and wrestling. His father, Lance, was a member of the Kent State gymnastics team. Robinson majored in cyber operations at Navy.
