Where are your former Giants now? DT Fred Robbins

The New York Football Giants have had a history of stout defensive teams with superior talent on that side of the ball. In fact, in the 1950s it was the Giants defense who induced fans to begin chanting, “Defense! Defense! Defense!” when before the players known to the public were only the offensive stars.

Robbins grew up in Pensacola, Fla. and was named All-City as a senior. He then went to Wake Forest and started three years at DT with 15 career sacks and a reputation for being a run-stuffer. He was selected in the second round of the 2000 draft by the Minnesota Vikings as a defensive tackle with his 6’4”, 325 pound frame.
