Tim Smith and Que Robinson Had a Much-Needed Pro Day Performance
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama's Pro Day has long been a crucial event for NFL draft prospects, providing them with a chance to impress scouts and teams after the NFL Combine.

For linebacker Que Robinson and defensive lineman Tim Smith, this year's Pro Day held even greater significance after being somewhat limited during the NFL Combine. Both players used the event to showcase their athleticism, skills, and determination, making a strong case for themselves as promising NFL talents.
Robinson and Smith both faced challenges during the Combine due to a limited performance and concerns about their physical readiness. For many players, the Combine is a key moment to prove their worth with scouts and team executives from all over the league watching closely. Knowing how critical Pro Day would be, Robinson and Smith prepared diligently, determined to show that they were far from defined by their limited Combine showings.
On the day, both Robinson and Smith emerged with strong dynamic performances that impressed scouts and observers alike. Robinson, known for his athleticism and versatility as a linebacker, demonstrated sharp agility and speed during the positional drills. On film, he is seen to have fluid movements in space - whether covering or reacting to blockers - highlighted by his football IQ and ability to quickly diagnose plays. His quickness was on full display during Pro Day, making him an intriguing prospect for NFL teams searching for a linebacker who can move with precision.
Smith, on the other hand, wowed with his power and skillset as a defensive lineman. His ability to move explosively off the line, coupled with his techniques, helped him shine in his final season with the Crimson Tide. Smith demonstrates strong hand placement, the ability to disengage from blockers, and a natural pass-rushing ability. These traits are evident on film, and his solid physical performance at Pro Day further justified the caliber of athlete he is. With NFL scouts constantly seeking defensive linemen who can control the line of scrimmage and apply pressure, Smith's film and Pro Day performance demonstrate that he is a force to be reckoned with.
Overall, Robinson and Smith's performances at Pro Day solidified their standing as players to watch in the upcoming draft, and now it's just a matter of which NFL team will take a chance on their talents.
