There is little question that Duce Robinson will extend FSU's streak of having a player selected in the NFL Draft to 44 years in 2027. But where he will be selected is something that will be discussed for several months.
Had Robinson left FSU after last season, the projections had him somewhere between late third round and fifth round — basically a similar area to where Darrell Jackson was drafted. But by staying for another year, Robinson may have put himself in position to be selected in the first two rounds. PFF has Robinson as the No. 37 overall player on their big board.

PFF has always been high on Robinson, and they have him as the fifth-best wide receiver in the 2027 Draft. The site is high on Robinson's natural athleticism and size, among other things:
""Robinson is a freak athlete standing at 6-foot-6 with backgrounds in baseball and swimming, but he boxes out defenders in the red zone like a basketball player. His 3.03 yards per route run was the sixth-best mark in college football last year.""
PFF has Duce Robinson at No. 37 on the overall big board
Robinson transferred to FSU from USC for the 2025 season and quickly ascended to the No. 1 role in the Seminoles offense. He hauled in 53 passes for 1,021 yards and six touchdowns, becoming the first FSU receiver to record over 1,000 yards in a season since Tamorrion Terry did it in 2019.
There have been some changes to the FSU offense — Tim Harris Jr. replacing Gus Malzahn as the offensive coordinator, head coach Mike Norvell going back to calling plays and Ashton Daniels taking over at quarterback — but Robinson still remains the focal point, and he'll be looking for a repeat of his breakout season.
Robinson won't have to do it alone this year. FSU has some exciting pieces around him, including a rushing attack that should be among the best in the conference and some promising young receivers. If Robinson can stay healthy and have similar production to last season, there's a good chance he'll be in the mix as a potential first-round pick.
