Robbins was drafted by the Silver and Black in the second round of the 1995 NFL Draft, after a great college career at TCU. One of the best picks that the Raiders made in their draft history. That led to Robbins having a nine-year career with the Raiders. Robbins was part of the successful seasons the Raiders had in the early 2000s. Robbins was a member of the 2002 Raiders that reached Super Bowl XXXVII. Robbins was a First Time All-Pro and a Pro Bowler that season.

Robbins was the anchor for the Oakland Raiders offensive line, and we was one of the best in franchise history. He played a total of 121 games with the Oakland Raiders, making 105 starts. When you think about the Raiders' history at the offensive line, Robbins is one of the names that will always be talked about with Raider Nation.
