Jaguars OT Cam Robinson suspended four games for PEDs
The NFL officially suspended Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Cam Robinson for four games for violating the PED policy, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Robinson’s transgressions were first reported in April by SI’s John Shipley. Now, the league made it official as the month comes to a close.
Robinson, a former Alabama star, was selected with the No. 34 overall pick (second round) in the 2017 NFL Draft.
The former Alabama tackle appeared in 75 games during his six-year career in the National Football League. Last year, Robinson started in 14 games at left tackle, with 2022 second-round left tackle Walker Little taking the other five starts for the Jaguars.
Robinson tore his meniscus in December last season, which pushed Little into the lineup for the final three weeks of the regular season and both of the Jaguars’ playoff games. Jaguars GM Trent Baalke said the franchise expected to have him healthy when the team gets to training camp.
During his time in Tuscaloosa, Robinson started every game at left tackle (43 games). He racked up numerous accolades during his time there. Robinson became one of the team’s three unanimous All-American selections in 2016.
He also won the Outland Trophy in 2016, his junior season with the Crimson Tide. The 6-foot-6, 310-pounder also won the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy, the second won that Alabama brought home in two years. He racked up a team-high 37 knockdown blocks in 15 games during his junior campaign.
As a freshman for Alabama, he earned freshman All-American honors after finishing with 32 knockdown blocks. He also only allowed three sacks during 861 snaps.
Coming out of high school, Robinson was one of the most highly regarded prospects in the country in the 2014 cycle. According to the On3 Industry Rankings, he was rated as the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation and a five-star recruit.
He played in the Under Armour All-American Game and he also participated in Nike’s “The Opening”, one of the nation’s premiere high school football camps. Robinson earned scholarship offers from just about every program in the country, choosing Alabama over LSU, Michigan, Auburn, and Arkansas.
