The Arizona Cardinals have signed Darius Robinson, their second first round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to his rookie contract.

From the team:

The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has signed Missouri defensive lineman Darius Robinson, the team’s first-round (27th overall) selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, to a four-year contract with a team option for a fifth year. The signing took place today at the Dignity Health Arizona Cardinals Training Center in Tempe, AZ.

With Robinson’s signing, 10 of the team’s 12 draft picks have signed contracts; only third-round selection RB Trey Benson and fourth-round selection S Dadrion Taylor-Demerson remain.

Robinson (6-5, 285) played 49 games (29 starts) at Missouri and totaled 111 tackles (69 solo), 13.0 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one pass defensed. Last season, Robinson started 12-of-13 games played and was a first-team All-SEC selection after setting career-highs with 43 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. In two seasons as a full-time starter with the Tigers, he appeared in 26 games (22 starts) and had 88 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss and 12.0 sacks. The 22-year old Robinson was a two-time member of the Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Education.

Welcome aboard, Darius and good luck.
