Top 10 head-to-head rookie matchups to watch (10. A'Shawn Robinson vs. Ryan Kelly - Game: Detroit Lions at Indianapolis Colts. Date: Sept. 11. Why it resonates: Former teammates will square off in the trenches in their career debuts. Robinson, a DT, and Kelly, a center, both starred at Alabama, so they're very familiar with each other.

Five best 2016 NFL Draft bargain picks: NFC North (DT A'Shawn Robinson, Detroit Lions: Drafted: 2nd round (46th overall). Why he's a bargain: Considered a strong candidate to be a first-round choice, Robinson was one of the last players left in the green room in Chicago. He was a three-year starter at Alabama, where he led the team in sacks as a freshman (5.5). He's more of a run-stopper than anything, but he has more upside as a pass rusher than teammate Jarran Reed, who was chosen three picks later by the Seattle Seahawks. Robinson can hold the point against double teams and be disruptive when single blocked.):   http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000659478/article/five-best-2016-nfl-draft-bargain-picks-nfc-north
