Perhaps the best left tackle in college football, Cam Robinson is a player to watch simply because he is that dominating of an offensive lineman, and he will be needed for Alabama to have success on offense against the defense they will see in Washington and potentially see beyond that from Clemson or Ohio State.

Robinson has helped pave the way for success from true freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts, as well as allow the Alabama run game to continue to be a threat throughout the season. Alabama, while being more diverse on offense and throwing the ball and using option plays more, still want to establish the run game to win games. With Robinson, the Crimson Tide have an excellent run blocker as well as a natural pass blocker for when they do go through the air. Robinson has excelled in his time with the team at shutting down excellent pass rushers such as Texas A&M’s Myles Garrett and will be counted on to do the same in the playoff games.

Being an offensive lineman, it can be easy to overlook or not pay attention to Robinson but when you see him dominate a defensive lineman, you’ll take note and begin to pay attention.
