I was joking today on Twitter about A’Shawn Robinson, the Alabama defensive tackle who looks like he’s 33 & has five trips to the Pro Bowl. The guy isn’t 33. He hasn’t played in the NFL yet. He just looks older. He’s so young that he can’t walk into a bar and legally buy a beer. Think about that for a second.
• Robinson played football with 7 and 8 year olds when he was just 4.
• Born March 21, 1995.
• Was getting college attention in the 8th grade.
• Is on pace to graduate in three years and wants to be an ESPN commentator.
Tonight he gets to whip some poor Clemson offensive lineman. Prayers.

A’Shawn Robinson is 20!
A’Shawn is listed at 6-4, 320 lbs.
Robinson, a junior, was considered the best defensive tackle coming out of high school.
