Bengals rookie Landon Robinson adapts to new role at training camp
Summary

Cincinnati Bengals rookie Landon Robinson, drafted in the seventh round, is adapting to a dual role at training camp, playing as both a defensive tackle and a fullback. Robinson's versatility was highlighted by his contribution in a recent preseason game against the Detroit Lions, where he recorded a half sack and helped score a touchdown. This shift in position may bolster his chances of making the 53-man roster given the competitive nature of the team’s depth chart. As the Bengals prepare for the regular season, Robinson aims to solidify his position while providing added value in short-yardage situations.
