The latest news about Robinson was his attempt to make it onto an NFL roster. Based on his collegiate football background at the University of Washington, Robinson wanted to be the first person to play in both the NBA and the NFL. That didn’t work out, so now Robinson is focused on making it back to the hardwood.
“If not, right now my main focus is basketball, getting back in the NBA,” Robinson told Slam Magazine in July.
The 32-year-old has been working out with Chris Hyppa, a global skill development coach based in Tacoma, Washington. Hyppa trains players in basketball skill development and overall conditioning. Robinson has posted his workouts on Instagram, showing that he still has the chops to play in the NBA.
