Patrick Robinson's 11-year NFL career
Patrick Robinson had all of his success in the eight seasons he played with the Saints. His time with the Philadelphia Eagles may be the most memorable, though, as he assisted in the Eagles' Super Bowl upset win over the New England Patriots.

Robinson appeared in three playoff games for the Eagles in 2017 and registered five tackles, one interception and a defensive touchdown.
Patrick Robinson caps off his NFL career with 338 total tackles, 83 pass breakups, 16 interceptions, 14 tackles for loss, two sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recover, and a defensive touchdown.
His retirement couldn't have put more pressure on the New Orleans Saints. The team needs more depth in their secondary, and now that need has become even more significant. The Saints are starting this season with a new face behind center at quarterback for the first time in 20 years.
Marshon Lattimore could potentially face a suspension. Not to mention the upcoming season could be his last year with the Saints. New Orleans are having to deal with wide receiver Michael Thomas, with the All-Pro wideout potentially wanting his way out.
Patrick Robinson's retirement is just a tiny problem the New Orleans Saints have faced this offseason. That doesn't even account for the loss of future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees who retired this offseason.
