This pick is definitely the most unique considering Kenny Robinson spent last season playing in the XFL.  He’s an all-around solid safety prospect, and with the Raiders needing all the competition they can get in the secondary, look for Robinson as a solid addition to this roster.

Robinson is a great coverage safety that was used primarily as a free safety.  He needs to work on his tackling ability, but he can spend his first year behind Damarious Randall and learn besides veterans like Jeff Heath and Erik Harris, as well as Johnathan Abram.

The young defensive back is also the only XFL prospect that is able to come out for the draft because of unusual circumstances. Robinson still had a year left of eligibility before leaving West Virginia.  However, he decided to go out for the XFL league instead.  He was one of the rising stars in the league before the Coronavirus hit.
