Robinson was the Eagles’ fourth-round pick this year.
He was drafted with the No. 111 pick and should make an instant impact on the team’s defensive line.
He stands at 6-foot-five, 288 pounds, and has an equally massive pet to match his stature.
In 2024, Robinson had 42 total pressures and seven sacks at Nebraska.
Across five years, Robinson had 12 sacks and 12 pass deflections.
He was given a four-year, $5.2 million rookie contract with the Eagles.
Robinson got the camel after his neighbor needed help housing it.
The animal ended up in Robinson’s backyard after school one day.
“The story is that my neighbor back home, he needed somewhere to put the camel,” Robinson told KOLN.
“I came home one day after school and I looked down on my backyard and I about 100 yards away and I went out there and walked in like, ‘really camel in my backyard.'”
Eagles fans love that their new rookie star owns a camel, and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Ride the camel down broad street after getting a ring,” one fan said.
“All i know is if we win another Super Bowl, the camel has to be at the parade!” another fan said.
“This is a great sign,” a third fan said.
