Barret Robbins: NFL Star's Rise & Fall

0:00On March 27th, former Oakland Raider star-center, Barrett Robbins has passed away as confirmed by his ex-team-aid Tim Brown. Drafted in the second round out of Texas Christian University back in 1995, Robbins rose fast to become one of the league's top centers. He earned first team all pro honors in 2002. His career took a sharp turn the day before Super Bowl 37. Robbins went missing from the team, leading to his suspension for that game, which the Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He came back briefly in 2003, starting all nine games he appeared in that season. But the Raiders cut him loose in 2004, and he never suited up again in the NFL. Robbins faced a string of arrests and personal challenges after football, marking a tough road off the field. Fans and former players remember him as a talented player whose life held many struggles. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time, leaving behind the legacy that's equal parts brilliance and hardship.
