Adrian Robinson Jr., who was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2012, and also played for the Washington Redskins, Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers, has died.
Robinson recently signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League and was signed to the Symmetry Agency. The Agency made the announcement on Facebook, posting, “It deeply saddens all of us to share with you that Adrian Robinson Jr. passed away last night at the age of 25. Adrian was a beloved father, son, brother, friend and teammate. We ask that you please respect his family’s privacy during this difficult time, and especially keep his daughter Avery Marie in your prayers. Thank you for all of your support and consideration.”
Robinson’s cause of death has not been revealed. His last post on Twitter, dated May 12, really showed his love for his family, most of all his baby girl who was less than a year old. “Summer and the laugh of my daughter make me believe in God,” he posted. Condolences to his family.
*UPDATE* – The Philadelphia medical examiner’s office told The Denver Post on Monday that Robinson’s death has been ruled suicide by hanging. Philadelphia officials declined to speak further on the case.
