After being named to the Professional Soccer Writers of America’s All-Rookie crew earlier within the week, Miami Dolphins first-year move rusher Chop Robinson has now been named a finalist for the Related Press (AP) Defensive Rookie of the 12 months award.
Robinson joins a star-studded checklist of 5 finalists — defensive sort out Braden Fiske and move rusher Jared Verse of the Los Angeles Rams, and defensive backs Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell of the Philadelphia Eagles.
After a gradual begin to the yr, Robinson turned it on within the second half of 2024 — amassing six sacks, eight tackles for loss and 4 passes defensed. Robinson’s expedited progress might be partly attributed to the elevated workload he obtained as a result of accidents to fellow linebackers Bradley Chubb (who missed the complete season) and Jaelan Phillips (who injured his ACL in week 4 and was positioned on season-ending injured reserve).
If the Dolphins retain the providers of Chubb, a trio of he, Phillips and Robinson would strike concern into the hearts of opposing quarterbacks throughout the Dolphins 2025 schedule, however with Chubb scheduled to make over $20 million in money for the upcoming season, that state of affairs will not be a sensible one for a cap-strapped crew like Miami.
Regardless, Dolphins followers ought to be very inspired by Robinson’s stellar first season which has positioned him on a number of awards lists. The winners of the AP NFL awards will probably be introduced at NFL Honors on February sixth.
