It’s been an up and down journey full of twists and turns, but former Alabama linebacker Quandarrius “Que” Robinson is one the verge of what he hopes will be a long career in professional football.

Robinson was one of the top special-teams performers in the SEC during his time in Tuscaloosa, with none less than Nick Saban once saying he was one of the best he’d ever coached in the kicking game. In the latest edition of AL.com’s award-winning “Road to the Pros” video series, Robinson talks in-depth about his Alabama career, life growing up in the Pratt City area of Birmingham and his NFL dreams, to which he knows special teams hold the key.

“I’m really hungry and eager to get to … whatever team I get to, and work my butt off to the best of my ability,” Robinson said. “And that’s gonna start with special teams. …There have been so many games won or lost based on special teams.”

Robinson also talks about the “tough love” he received from his mother and two younger sisters, first committing to Auburn before signing with Alabama, the 2021 DUI arrest that he said helped turn his career around and his decision not to transfer following Saban’s retirement. He also discusses his tumultuous 2024 season, in which he finally broke into the starting lineup but also dealt with the death of his father and a season-ending elbow injury in November.
