NFL Trade Rumors
Dolphins DE Bradley Chubb is confident second-year DE Chop Robinson can become one of the league’s best edge rushers, praising Robinson’s motor and development in run defense.
“One hundred percent,” Chubb said, via Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post. “He’s lights-out, man. His motor, the way he bends the edge, the way he could play the run – I know a lot of people in here say he couldn’t play the run, (but he’s) nothing short of phenomenal, man, and I’m excited to see him keep growing.”
Miami is building a formidable pass rush with Chubb, Robinson, and Jaelan Phillips. Chubb said they are all working to learn each other’s rushing styles.
“We’re kind of just all learning each other’s rush styles and how to work together,” Chubb said. “And when it’s a full, polished thing, man, the sky’s the limit.”
Phillips is happy to be playing alongside Chubb and reiterated that he believes Robinson has ultra-high potential.
“Playing with Bradley is some of the most fun times of our careers,” Phillips said. “I feel like when we were on the field, if it’s not me, it’s him, or both of us. So being on the field with him is great, but then adding Chop to that equation – I truly feel like Chop is going to be one of the best players in the league very soon.”
Jets LB Jamien Sherwood is entering the fifth year of his career after being a fifth-round pick in 2021 and recently signed a three-year, $45 million extension. Sherwood said he’s coming into his own as a leader this offseason.
“I always knew I had leadership tendencies and leadership qualities, but I never could be one until I got out of my shell,” Sherwood said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “The one thing about being a leader is, you can’t be afraid of what people are going to think of you, and you can’t be afraid to hurt someone’s feelings.”
Jets’ new HC Aaron Glenn praised Sherwood’s ability to play with leverage, disengage from blocks, and in coverage.
“He plays with leverage, he has long arms and he’s able to disengage from anybody that tries to block him,” Glenn said. “Those are the things I like about him, and he’s damn good in coverage. He’s a former safety, so he understands that aspect of the game.”
Sherwood missed 12 games during his rookie season due to an Achilles injury. He said that time allowed him to work on his body and fully prepare for the NFL.
“Honestly, without that injury, I would’ve never done what I needed to do to get to this point,” Sherwood said. “Being sidelined, I got closer to God. I had time to get my body right, with rehab and stuff like that.”
