Johnny Robinson Should already be in Canton. What a shame that the pro football hall of fame selected him as the AFL's alltime safety and to the team of the decade 1960's nd have not enshrined him yet. Robinson was a seven time all pro and led the AFL/NFL in interceptions twice '66 and '70. Five time interception leader of the Chiefs and retired as the Chiefs interception leader with 58. Played in 8 division title, 3 league championships and two super bowls with one super bowl championship. HOF stated that he redefined the role of safety in pro football but has yet to be enshrined. Good luck D.T. and hopefully Johnny Robinson very soon. Love DT. Johnny Robinson Should already be in Canton.
