Weaknesses

At 5’9 and 183 pounds, Robertson could stand to gain a few more pounds so that he can be more effective in run support. To play the nickel he is going to need to be able to set a consistent edge for the defense. His play strength is only adequate which will hurt him in being effective in run support.

More from With the First Pick

Robertson needs to do a better job of shedding blocks consistently so that he can slow down runs on the perimeter. He will go for the big play too often and not wrap up which will cause him to miss tackles on bigger ball carriers at the next level.

Despite his size, Robertson is ready to take on the challenges at the next level. There are not a ton of flaws to Robertson’s game, and his draft stock could be a precedent for how high teams are willing to draft nickel cornerbacks as the league has begun to shift towards a pass heavy league.

The talent is there, but how high are teams going to be willing to nab Robertson in the 2020 NFL Draft? We will now wrap it up and close the book on Amik Robertson with a summary.
