The 49ers the last few years have been successful in the business of maximizing the talents of defensive lineman. Players like Kerry Hyder, Arden Key and Charles Omenihu all saw success in San Francisco after hanging around in relative obscurity through the early portions of their careers. Ole Miss defensive lineman Tavius Robinson is a prospect the 49ers could target in this year’s draft with the hopes of putting his career on an upward trajectory right away. Robinson met with San Francisco ahead of the draft per the Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Robinson is a fascinating player who needs plenty of polish to maximize his unbelievable physical traits. He measures in at 6-6, 257 pounds with nearly 34-inch arms. It’s easy to see how he’d fit on a 49ers defensive line that values edge players who can kick down and rush from the interior on passing downs.
