    Ex Steeler dead at 25

    Adrian Robinson, who never missed a game during four seasons playing linebacker at Temple, died Saturday. He was 25.

    Robinson leaves behind a young daughter. The cause of his death is currently unknown.

    His agency, Symmetry, confirmed the news Sunday morning:

    It deeply saddens all of us to share with you that Adrian Robinson Jr. passed away last night at the age of 25. Adrian was a beloved father, son, brother, friend and teammate. We ask that you please respect his family’s privacy during this difficult time, and especially keep his daughter Avery Marie in your prayers. Thank you for all of your support and consideration.

    Robinson finished his collegiate career with 156 tackles, 22.5 sacks and eight forced fumbles.


    A native of Harrisburg, Pa., Robinson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2012 as an undrafted free agent and went on to appear in 12 games for the team, primarily on special teams. His last NFL season came in 2013, which he split between the Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers and Washington Redskins.

    Robinson had recently been taking classes to finish his degree and was looking to continue his career in the CFL, according to OwlScoop.com.

    Wasn't he the guy Tomlin called a "one trick pony" and then was traded to the Eagles for Felix Jones??

    Guy had a nice 1st step.

      25! Dang, that's barely out of boyhood -- too young to die of any reason.
      My deepest sympathies to his family. He even a kid (or kids) apparently. Now they grow up without a dad. Very sad.

        After the Eagles acquired him, they waived him before the 2013 season started, and he was let go by three other teams that season.

        Whatever, this is sad.

                I can remember watching Robinson play in the Big 33 game against Ohio just a few years ago. I think he was the MVP of that game if I remember correctly. RIP young man.

                      A sorrowful thread, but your post made me laugh out loud. Nice pick up, dang. It's like the first day on a new job and showing up in pajamas or something.

                            Even sadder news than it was.
