The 11-year veteran was selected by Minnesota in the fourth round (102nd overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft. Robison missed only three contests in 11 seasons, previously holding a streak of 73 consecutive regular season games from 2012 through 2017.

RuskieTitan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Always like it when a player gets to retire eith the franchise that meant the most for their career. Sounds like he'd be going in as a Viking if he makes the Hall of Fame, though with no ring it may be a stretch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 fun fact: Robison was very committed for several years in trying to make the US Olympic team as a shot putter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of those guys I'll always remember though because of his solid performance and stand-up character. To me, he's the modern-day version of Doug Martin.

BleedTheClock Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Absolutely loved him coming out of the draft years ago. He had excellent explosion numbers and IIRC, had a crazy vertical jump...not just for a white guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he retiring so early though? He couldn't make the team last season and no one else was interested. Safe to say he probably declined and simply isn't good enough to play anymore.

Why is he retiring so early though? Your probably thinking of someone else. BRob was a 6-3 260 DE. He had an 11 year career with the Vikings.
