The Washington Commanders are actively preparing for the 2026 NFL Draft, with a particular focus on edge rushers, defensive backs, and wide receivers. Recently, they hosted a private workout for Landon Robinson, a defensive tackle from the United States Naval Academy. Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 293 pounds, Robinson may not fit the traditional size profile for an NFL defensive tackle, but he compensates with remarkable strength and a low center of gravity. Over his college career, he played in 38 games, accumulating 153 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, and 14.5 sacks. His performance in the 2025 season included 64 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks. NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein noted that while Robinson's size may be a concern, his game tape demonstrates his ability to disrupt plays effectively. Robinson is expected to be a Day 3 pick in the draft, where the Commanders hold four selections, including two in the sixth round.
