The Green Bay Packers selected Tulane cornerback Micah Robinson in the seventh round (No. 237 overall) of the 2025 NFL draft.
Breakdown: Spent four seasons at Furman before transferring to Tulane. Was the top graded defensive player for Tulane's terrific 2024 defense. Allowed a passer rating of only 52.4 into his coverage, with two picks, four pass breakups and a forced fumble. All-AAC pick in 2024. Smaller than the Packers like at 5-10 and 183 pounds but the team likes his movement ability for the position. Ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38-4.42 seconds. Played mostly on the perimeter across five collegiate seasons. Finished career with seven interceptions and 11 touchdown passes allowed. Not a perfect tackler, but a willing force defender who is unafraid of the physical side despite his size. Pre-draft visitor to Green Bay.
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: "Fifth-year senior who spent one season at Tulane after transferring from Furman. He has NFL-caliber top-end speed but lacks the short-area shiftiness to match slot targets, which might be something he’s asked to do because he lacks ideal size. He was greatly improved in 2024 and is a tough run supporter when plays flow his way."
They said it: "He’s got great feet, he can play off-man coverage, which is one of the harder things to do. He took up a step from Furman to Tulane, and really played really, really well in his first season there. So I think as he gets more reps against really better competition, I think he’s going to continue to improve. He doesn’t have elite size, but I thought his speed and his ability as an athlete to stay with guys, particularly from playing off coverage which is so hard, and he’s got great ball skills.” -- GM Brian Gutekunst
Robinson wore No. 6 at Tulane, but Mecole Hardman currently has the number. He wore No. 14 at Furman, but that number is retired. He'll be No. 26 as a rookie.
