As a senior, he caught 55 passes for 903 yards and 11 touchdowns, while helping his team win back-to-back Class 3A Florida State championships in 2001 and 2002, with identical 14-1 records.

He received a scholarship to attend Illinois State University, after his stepfather contacted the Redbirds' coaching staff; as his brother had also been recruited there a year before.

In the season opener against Kansas State University, he had 9 receptions for 77 yards and 2 touchdowns, before suffering an illegal block on a fourth quarter kickoff return, that sidelined him with an ankle sprain for 2 games.

In 2008, rookie Harry Douglas and the return of Brian Finneran from a two-year absence, led to Robinson falling on the depth chart.

[6] Robinson became a starter until he fractured his fibula on September 28, 2009 and was placed on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

Despite an impressive final preseason game in which he caught six passes for 120 yards, he was released at the end of training camp on September 3, 2011.

[8] On September 7, 2011, he was signed by the Dallas Cowboys, who scouted him during the joint practices they had with the San Diego Chargers in training camp.

Robinson followed up that game with three catches, two of which were touchdowns, against the Buffalo Bills starting in place of Miles Austin, while he was recovering from a hamstring injury.

Robinson played a key role in the offense and registered career highs with 54 receptions for 858 receiving yards and a team leading 11 touchdowns.

Although he was expected to be the team's number one receiver, he failed to impress and missed 9 games, after suffering 4 concussions and being placed on the injured reserve list on November 21.

The first concussion happened in training camp, when he landed on a small strip of concrete pavers near the practice field.
