What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Sawyer Robertson

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein broke down Robertson ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. You can read his evaluation below.

“Fifth-year senior with pro traits and arm talent. Robertson possesses a quick release and good velocity, but his subpar touch, timing and accuracy are notable on the first two levels,” Zierlein wrote. “He’ll need better eye discipline to keep linebackers and safeties from jumping passing lanes. He’s composed in the face of pressure and can make off-platform throws when needed.

“He’s mobile but won’t beat many teams with extended plays. A shift away from spread-based reads to a more balanced attack featuring traditional tight ends could help, but Robertson’s struggles with accuracy and ball placement could be tough to overcome.”

Going into the draft, Zierlein ranked Robertson as a sixth to seventh round pick.
