Penn State defensive end Chop Robinson is opening eyes and making his NFL aspirations known at the NFL scouting combine. Not only has he put Baltimore Ravens quarterback and 2x NFL MVP Lamar Jackson on his sack list, but he also demonstrated he has the speed to do it.
One of those teams projected to target Chop Robinson will be the Ravens, ironically. Although Robinson is projected in most mock drafts to be off the board by the time the Ravens select at No. 30.
