Patrick Robinson on first stint with Saints: 'I think I needed to go through that experience'

After his first stint with the New Orleans Saints, cornerback Patrick Robinson never thought he would return to the team.

"Honestly, I kind of left on a bitter note, so I definitely didn't think I'd be back here," he said Tuesday (June 12).

That bitterness didn't come from anything in particular. Instead, that was Robinson's way to describe his five-year experience with the Saints, one that didn't have the kind of personal success he expected.

Like most NFL players, Robinson was among the best players on any football team for which he played before turning pro.
