Bengals selected Navy DT Landon Robinson with the No. 226 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

Robinson (5’11"/293) was recruited to Navy as a linebacker but made the transition to defensive tackle while sitting out as a freshman. He saw the field for the first time as a sophomore and was immediately a wrecking ball, tallying four sacks, albeit on just nine pressures. He earned a starting role for the next two years and totaled 10.5 sacks, 14 TFLs, and two forced fumbles as an upperclassman. Pro Football Focus charted him with a top-10 pass-rush grade among defensive linemen, though his run defense grade was nothing to write home about. Robinson crushed his Pro Day with a 4.87 40-yard dash (95th-percentile) and 7.32-second three-cone drill (94th-percentile), among other impressive measureables. Robinson is not particularly close to being an NFL-sized defensive tackle, but his elite pass-rush production can’t be ignored. He will be eyeing a rotational role in the pros, though his 2026 opportunities will likely come on special teams.
