According to SI.com's Greg Bedard, Auburn LT Greg Robinson is most often compared to Orlando Pace "in league circles" for his physicality as a run blocker.
Robinson is not nearly as pro-ready a pass blocker as Pace was coming out of Ohio State, but his size-athleticism combo is on par with or even superior to the future Hall of Famer. Despite that massive upside, there is a growing groundswell for St. Louis to bypass Robinson in favor of Texas A&M LT Jake Matthews at No. 2 overall. Matthews is viewed as the "safer" tackle prospect.

If you want to take pieces and compare you can.
That must mean Im like Howie Long in that we are both carbon based life forms.
I don't buy the hype with Robinson.

Yup, it's pretty weak to compare physical size and measurements, then project performance results to a HoFamer.

I thought Orlando Pace was a much better pass protector than a run blocker. His run blocking really tailed off later in his career and Walter Jones was a much better run blocker than Pace. I always preferred Jones and would compare his run blocking more to Robinsons.

I would compare Robinsons pass blocking to Alex Barron.

Man oh man... you had to bring up Alex Barron. Every time I hear/read that name... :cry:
