Under The Radar: Khiry Robinson

Running Back - West Texas A&M
While his stats at the 2012 Texas vs. the Nation game were quite pedestrian, it was clear to me from the handful of carries Khiry Robinson got that game that he has some serious talent. He didn't look very large, but wow, did he run with power. Tacklers looked like they were trying to take down a telephone pole as they ran into him and bounced to the ground. This compact power back from West Texas A&M is someone I feel is flying seriously under the radar for the 2013 NFL Draft.

In his senior year at West Texas A&M, Khiry Robinson ran for 1654 yards on 247 carries (6.6 ypc) in 13 games. Robinson was able to power in 15 TDs on the ground this past year while averaging about 125 yards per contest. He was also a productive receiver out of the backfield, catching 38 passes for 430 yards an 4 TDs. In his junior year he went for 477 rushing yards in only 65 carries (7.3 ypc) and 8 TDs in 8 games. A transfer from Blinn Junior College (the same JuCo that Cam Newton starred at,) Robinson split his time his freshman and sophomore years as a RB and a SS, and he brings that hitters mentality to his running style. Here is a video with some of his highlights from Blinn. He pulls off some remarkable runs showing a lot of power.
