Despite getting selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, defensive lineman Janarius Robinson only lasted two seasons with the franchise.
Credit to Robinson, however, since he's still found a way to remain in the league since his Vikings departure in 2022.
Most recently, Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot revealed that the former Minnesota fourth-round pick worked out for the Cleveland Browns on Monday.
No news yet on whether Robinson has landed a deal with the Browns or not, but this is the second NFL team to bring him in for a workout this month, as he recently visited with the New England Patriots as well.

Prior to getting drafted by the Vikings, Robinson spent his college career in the ACC at Florida State. During his four years at the school, he accumulated 105 tackles (20.5 for a loss), eight sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Before the 2021 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-5, 266-pound Robinson was able to put together a 9.32 Relative Athletic Score with his testing numbers, which ranked as the 93rd-best out of 1360 defensive ends from 1987 to 2021.
Minnesota was clearly intrigued by what he was able to do in the pre-draft process and ultimately decided to select him with a fourth-round pick in 2021.
Unfortunately, Robinson's tenure with the Vikings was never really able to get off the ground.
He spent his rookie season on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, and after not being selected to Minnesota's final 2022 roster, his time with the franchise came to an end after a brief stint on the Vikings' practice squad.
Since parting with Minnesota in 2022, Robinson has had stints around the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders, and Kansas City Chiefs.
He's only appeared in a total of 16 games in his pro career, all of which came in a Raiders uniform during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. In those 16 appearances, he generated 13 total tackles (one for a loss), 1.5 sacks, and one pass deflection.
At 27-years-old, Robinson still has time to carve out a solid career in the NFL. But he's certainly running out of opportunities to make an actual lasting impact.
