EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Brian Robison watched Chad Greenway retire in the offseason and Adrian Peterson leave to sign with the New Orleans Saints.
Those two longtime Minnesota Vikings stars were really the only contemporaries for the defensive end drafted in the fourth round in 2007.
There was a time that Robison was a featured part of the Vikings defense, a standout not on the Hall of Fame track like Peterson or in the running for Pro Bowls like Greenway, but nonetheless a valued member of a team that consistently entered the season with high expectations.
