Watch Detroit Lions defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson score his first NFL touchdown

As a rookie defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions last season, former Alabama All-American A'Shawn Robinson led the NFL's interior linemen with seven deflected passes.

During Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, Robinson did more than just knock down a pass - he plucked it out of the air and scored a touchdown.

New Orleans hadn't lost a turnover in its first four games of the season. But with Saints quarterback Drew Brees passing out of his end zone, Robinson leaped for a pass, pulled it down with both hands and stepped 2 yards over the goal line for a Detroit touchdown with 6:41 left in the game.
