Cam Robinson became the first Alabama player taken on Day 2 of the NFL Draft on Friday when he was selected with the No. 34 overall pick in the second round by the Jacksonville Jaguars. The offensive lineman is the fifth Crimson Tide player to be selected in this year's draft, joining Marlon Humphrey (No. 16, Baltimore Ravens), Jonathan Allen (No. 17, Washington Redskins), O.J. Howard (No. 19, Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and Reuben Foster (No. 31, San Francisco 49ers) who were all selected in the first round Thursday night.
Last season Robinson earned the Outland Trophy and the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy after leading an Alabama offensive line that helped the Crimson Tide average 38.8 points per game. The 6-foot-6, 322-pound offensive lineman also earned unanimous All-American honors. Robinson started at left tackle for every game of his three-year college career and was voted as one of the Tide’s four permanent team captains by his teammates last season.
Robinson is projected to move to either guard or right tackle at the next level.
