Saints' Sean Payton on Jets RB Khiry Robinson: He'll surprise you

Khiry Robinson is the mystery man among the New York Jets' free-agent signings.

He played only 28 games for the New Orleans Saints, making the team in 2013 as an undrafted free agent from West Texas State. He wasn't a priority free agent; no, he had to audition at a rookie camp before receiving a contract offer. That's the lowest rung on the NFL ladder, but the 6-foot, 220-pound running back convinced the Saints he was worth a shot.

The Saints almost cut him, but their patience was rewarded. Coach Sean Payton suspects the same will happen with the Jets.
