Inside an NFL training camp with Guelph rookie Tavius Robinson

Tavius Robinson has touched down on the Baltimore Ravens practice field as they start preparing for the 2023-24 NFL season.

The 24-year-old from Guelph, Ont. is the first player from the city and Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute (GCVI) to be drafted into the National Football League. He was selected in April by the Ravens in the fourth round, and 124th overall in the 2023 draft. 

Robinson joins other rookies and team veterans taking part in what's called Voluntary Organized Team Activities. This year in Baltimore the veterans and the rookies have shown up for the drills with rookie Robinson wearing the number 95 jersey, playing defensive end, outside linebacker positions.

"Just been getting into the playbook, you know, learning the scheme, learning the techniques they teach here," said Robinson.

"So it's good. It's been good to be here and kind of get with the veterans now and learn from them, learn from our coaches and really just kind of get the playbook down and then yeah, just playing football."

Robinson and the Ravens run a 12 hour workout regime that starts at 6:00 a.m. The day includes meetings, gym work  that includes weights, on-field exercises, and more meetings. Then it's back to the hotel where the learning continues, studying the team playbook with roomate Trenton Simpson, a rookie linebacker from Clemson University.

"[We] have grown close," he said of Simpson. "We're in the hotel, going over the playbook together, going over our footwork and stuff together." 

"We don't have school now, so there's more time on just football, which I love. So it's football during the day and then we get back to our hotel and it's more football. You know, going over your playbook, watching the film, that type of stuff."
