It only took 39 years, but former Kansas City Chiefs safety Johnny Robinson is finally going to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, according to Vahe Gregorian of The Kansas City Star.
Robinson’s pending induction will be officially announced during the annual NFL Honors telecast on Saturday. He’ll don his gold jacket for the first time at the annual induction ceremony this summer in Canton, Ohio.
Robinson’s selection to the Hall has been a long time coming. Nominated as a regular finalist six times between 1980 and 1986, he was passed over each time.
