Former Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson cried tears of joy after winning Super Bowl

MINNEAPOLIS -- Patrick Robinson said he found Malcolm Jenkins on the field after the Philadelphia Eagles won Super Bowl 52 on Sunday night.

Both players were on defense for the last play of the game when the New England Patriots' Hail Mary attempt failed.

"We hugged it out on the field," Robinson said. "We were crying. It's a great feeling."

Without Jenkins, it's unclear if Robinson would've been a part of this championship team. The two defensive backs were teammates with the New Orleans Saints from 2010 through 2013, and when Robinson looked for a new team with which to reclaim his career, the chance to be teammates with Jenkins again helped draw him to Philadelphia.
