Impressive guy and a really unsung player. Lucky we have him and he peaked at the absolute right time
What we do know is that it started long before the season.. he changed his body dramatically,Whether or not it was a combination of Robinsons' own desire to be great or playing next to Donald & Von Miller, the big fella, broke out this season compared to his 2020 season.
Maybe it was the way he related to Raheem Morris' defense or simply being in his second year under Rams defensive line coach Eric Henderson?
We can guess all we want.
The bottom line is Robinson played his best ball later in the season and was consistent down the stretch and during the NFL playoffs.
I'm elated A'Shawn is going to be on the Rams books for the (2022) season.
Keep improving big fella.
You are still young and if you continue to ascend in the 2022 season, you will earn yourself an epic contract in 2023.

Getting rid of Brockers in favor of Robinson/SJD/Gaines was 110% the right move.A'Shawn was a rock, a beast, a man mountain. Totally unblockable.
He was an absolute theft from the Lions and I had no idea that he's that young.
He played way better than Brockers ever did.
Gotta find a way to keep him when his contracts up after next season. We couldn't have won the Super Bowl without him.
He destroyed our opponents' running game at the point of attack and dominated the line of scrimmage.
Wow!!
So it is possible for a mature, intelligent, football-knowledgeable, objective and emotionally-secure human being to acknowledge when he was wrong. Thank you for showing us that.Honestly, I had reservations when the Rams signed him. Started to think wasted money and roster space. Happy that I was 100% wrong about it. He is definitely worth it.
Hmm, we've been talking about incorporating a FB . . . .The guy is versatile also!!! A'Shawn Robinson
"In his junior season, he appeared at fullback in goal line situations in games against LSU and Michigan State in addition to starting on the defensive line."
This seems wild... as a High Schooler: " He also holds the deadlift record at West Deptford High School with 765 pounds."
