Number Three: Patrick Robinson

Patrick Robinson is a cornerback who has spent a total of seven years with the New Orleans Saints.

Robinson came into the NFL back in 2010 as a first-round pick by the Saints, playing his collegiate ball at Florida State University. Robinson has always been more of a number two corner or has played the nickel role quite a bit as a Saint.

He has won one Super Bowl (as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles) and has played at a high level for over a decade, much of which has been with New Orleans. Robinson is still currently on the Saints roster, recently taking a pay cut to help the team acquire additional talent.

Robinson has played in 72 games as a member of the Saints racking up 2020 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, one sack, one forced fumble, nine interceptions, 48 passes defended, and one defensive touchdown.
