The Lions are staying busy ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, and their latest guest at Allen Park was Alabama edge rusher Que Robinson. The senior pass rusher made a pre-draft visit this week, kicking off what looks like a packed travel schedule as he meets with multiple NFL teams.
Robinson, who had his season cut short by an injury against LSU, was starting to turn heads before he went down. In just nine games last season, he put up four sacks and seven tackles for loss—solid numbers for a guy who was just beginning to find his rhythm. At 6’4”, 243 pounds, he’s got the kind of frame and athleticism teams love when looking to add depth off the edge.
For the Lions, Robinson wouldn’t be expected to carry a huge load out of the gate. With Aidan Hutchinson returning and Marcus Davenport in the mix, the edge rotation is already solid. But under new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, there’s room to develop a player like Robinson into something more.
And let’s be real—special teams is where late-round rookies often prove themselves first, and Robinson has the makeup to do just that while growing into a bigger defensive role.
Bottom line: The Lions are hunting for smart, tough, versatile players with upside. Que Robinson checks those boxes, and the fact they brought him in shows he’s definitely on their radar.
