Broncos' Secret Weapon: Robinson's Rising Star
14 Jun
Summary
- Robinson drafted by Broncos in 4th round of 2025 NFL Draft.
- Excels as special teams player with significant defensive upside.
- Poised for larger defensive role in second season with Broncos.
Que Robinson, selected by the Denver Broncos in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, is emerging as a player with significant upside. Initially lauded for his exceptional special teams abilities at Alabama, Robinson also demonstrated pass-rushing potential.
During his rookie season in 2025, Robinson appeared in 6 games, recording 12 tackles and a half-sack. His impact was noted in the Broncos' playoff run, where he sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. This performance highlighted his pass-rush capabilities.
Entering his second year in 2026, Robinson aims for a more prominent defensive role, despite the Broncos' depth at edge rusher. He is competing for snaps behind starters Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper, aiming to surpass rotational players Jonah Elliss and Dondrea Tillman.
General Manager George Paton believes Robinson has the highest upside of any rookie from the 2025 draft class. Robinson is expected to remain a key special teams contributor at minimum, with hopes for a significant defensive impact.
