Mike Tomlin Happy To See Mark Robinson Get An Opportunity, Praises Rookie For Day-To-Day Preparation

Seven defensive snaps.

That’s all that rookie seventh-round linebacker Mark Robinson saw on Sunday in Week 15 against the Carolina Panthers in just his third game he’s been active for all season.

While the seven snaps aren’t much, they marked the first true defensive snaps the former running back turned linebacker at Ole Miss saw in the NFL.

Of the seven snaps, Robinson saw four on run plays and three in coverage against the Panthers as a reserve linebacker behind the likes of Devin Bush and Robert Spillane with Myles Bush was inactive due to an ankle injury.
