2026 Outlook
Chop Robinson is a second-year edge rusher for the Miami Dolphins competing for breakout honors in 2026. In his rookie year, Robinson was a very good pass rusher but was "okay" against the run and didn't finish plays as consistently as expected. The Dolphins have him locked in with only one or two years remaining on his current deal (with a potential fifth-year option), making a 2026 breakout critical for his long-term value. (per One NFL analyst's pick for a Miami Dolphins' 2026 breakout player would be a massive win for the long-term outlook in South Florida)
Under HC Jeff Hafley's new defensive structure, defensive line coach Austin Clark now oversees all linemen—both interior and edge—creating a unified coaching approach that mirrors Hafley's Green Bay system. This expanded responsibility for Clark signals Hafley's confidence in developing the edge group. Robinson faces "lot of question marks" outside as he competes for production alongside veteran newcomers (Josh Uche, David Ojabo).
