Miami Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson prepares for season opener
Summary

Miami Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson is entering the upcoming NFL season with a focus on improving his performance after a 2025 campaign that saw his sack total drop to four. The second-year player has reshaped his physique, adding 11 pounds to reach a playing weight of 265. Robinson acknowledges that expectations shifted following his initial All-Rookie selection, during which he recorded six sacks.
