Missouri Tigers standout defensive lineman Darius Robinson defied expectations when he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent following the 2025 NFL Draft. Despite not hearing his name called on draft day, Robinson’s blend of size, athleticism, and relentless motor caught the eye of the Cowboys’ scouting team, who wasted no time offering him a contract.
The 6’5”, 290-pound defensive tackle was a disruptive force for Missouri throughout his college career, recording 56 tackles, 8 sacks, and 14 tackles for loss in his senior season. Known for his ability to shed blockers and collapse the pocket, Robinson was a key contributor to the Tigers’ defensive success in the SEC, earning All-Conference honors.
Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy is excited to bring Robinson into the fold, commenting, “He has the traits we look for—versatility, power, and a relentless pursuit of the ball. He’ll fit right into our defensive scheme.”
Though Robinson is expected to initially serve as a depth piece, he’s eager to prove himself in the NFL. His determination to make an impact is evident, and Cowboys fans are eager to see if he can make the roster and contribute to a defense poised for greatness in 2025.
