First stint with Seahawks

[edit]

The Seattle Seahawks drafted Robinson with the 9th overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft, which was acquired along with a first round pick that was used to select Shaun Alexander in a trade that sent Joey Galloway to the Dallas Cowboys.[4]

Minnesota Vikings

[edit]

Robinson was signed by the Minnesota Vikings. He was given a limited role in his time with the Vikings and was named the team's kick returner. Despite it being the first time in his career he had returned kicks, Robinson made the Pro Bowl in 2005.

Robinson's time with the Vikings was marred by an incident that took place in, and between, St. Peter and Mankato, Minnesota. In August 2006, Robinson was charged with "A felony charge of fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, and misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving and driving after suspension..."[5] Police reported speeds in excess of 120 MPH during the pursuit and reported Robinson's blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) as 0.11 after his arrest. The legal BAC in Minnesota at the time was 0.08.[6] Robinson was released by the Vikings 10 days later.[7]

Green Bay Packers

[edit]

In September 2006, Robinson was signed by the Green Bay Packers, much by the urging of then-quarterback Brett Favre and GM Ted Thompson (former Seahawks executive who had drafted Robinson in 2001 in Seattle). Robinson was suspended without pay on October 16, 2006, for a minimum of one year for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.[8] Robinson worked out with Favre's trainer to stay in football shape. Robinson was reinstated by Commissioner Goodell in October 2007, and he completed the 2007 season with 21 catches for 241 yards and one touchdown. His touchdown came against the Detroit Lions on December 30, 2007.[9]

However, the Packers picked two younger receivers in the 2008 NFL draft, creating a logjam at the position. Robinson was deemed expendable, and the Packers released him on May 9, 2008. Packers General Manager Ted Thompson said, "I think a lot of Koren. I'm very proud to be able to see him turn things around. He's a true professional. He helped us in the locker room. He helped the young guys learn to be pros."

Second stint with Seahawks

[edit]

On September 16, 2008, the Seahawks signed Robinson, due to the large number of injuries at the receiver position. In his second stint with the Seahawks, Robinson broke the franchise record with the longest catch in team history. Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace threw a pass to Robinson that went for 90 yards and a touchdown on the Seahawks' first play from scrimmage against the Philadelphia Eagles at Qwest Field in Seattle on November 2, 2008, which was also the longest pass in team history. On January 26, 2009, it was reported by Pro Football Weekly that Robinson was not expected to be back with the Seahawks the next season due to a chronic knee injury.[10]

Florida Tuskers

[edit]

Robinson was signed by the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League on September 3, 2009.[11]

New York Sentinels

[edit]

Robinson was traded to the Sentinels for future considerations.
