Landon Robinson

NFL defensive tackle. Position: DT. Team: Cincinnati Bengals.

Quick Facts

• Position: Defensive Tackle
• Team: Cincinnati Bengals
• Draft: 2026 (Round 7)
• College: Navy (AAC Defensive Player of the Year)
• Build: Resembles Geno Atkins—powerful, explosive 3-technique

2026 Outlook

Seventh-round pick with unusual upside despite limited college competition. Robinson is one of the Bengals' most praised draft selections, praised for his pass-rushing instincts, natural leverage, and quickness. He'll compete for one of two remaining interior DL roster spots against veterans and struggling 2024 pick Kris Jenkins Jr. His build and athleticism (compared favorably to Geno Atkins) suggest eventual NFL production, but as a rookie, his ceiling depends on preseason opportunity and how aggressively Cincinnati pushes him into action versus hiding him on the practice squad. The Bengals' stacked DT room (Dexter Lawrence, B.J. Hill, Jonathan Allen, T.J. Slaton) means limited reps for Robinson early.
