Robinson appeared in 51 games as a Bear and recorded 187 catches for 2,695 yards and 20 touchdowns.

After leaving Chicago, Robinson signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2003 and hauled in 31 passes for 451 yards with a team-high six touchdown catches. A year later he joined the Minnesota Vikings and had 107 receptions for 1,553 yards and 17 touchdowns during his three seasons in Minnesota.
