"With Texas shifting toward more of a gap scheme while still incorporating inside zone concepts, Robertson is a perfect fit.....He’s capable of sealing the edge in the run game, protecting the quarterback’s blind side, and leading up the field on screen passes with impressive quickness for his size."
"His ability to create movement at the point of attack, get out in space, and execute with precision aligns with what Kyle Flood and Steve Sarkisian are building up front.
