Former LSU standout and Kansas City Chiefs safety Johnny Robinson was selected as the seniors finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2019 on Friday, Hall officials announced.
Robinson was picked by the Hall of Fame's seniors committee who met at the Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Robinson, who will turn 80 next month, was a member of LSU's 1958 national championship team. In 1960, he was drafted in the first round of the American Football League draft by the Dallas Texans (who later became the Kansas City Chiefs) and was the third overall pick in the NFL draft by the Detroit Lions.
