EAGAN, Minn. — A Vikings squad expected to bolster its pass rush did so a couple of times during the 2021 NFL Draft, including with the selection of Janarius (pronounced juh-narr-iss) Robinson out of Florida State in the fourth round.
The No. 134 overall pick will join Pittsburgh's DE Patrick Jones II (third round, 90th overall) and DT Jaylen Twyman (sixth round, 199th overall) as members of the draft class and defensive line room.
Robinson was asked about pre-draft interactions with Vikings Assistant Head Coach and Co-Defensive Coordinator Andre Patterson, who will be coaching the defensive line for an eighth consecutive season, and described "good conversations."
"He told me he loved me, and if they had a chance to pull the trigger on me, they would," Robinson said. "I'm just grateful for this opportunity to get up there and learn with one of the best defensive end coaches in the country and also be around a great room of guys."
