Marcus Robinson (born February 27, 1975) is a retired American football player in the NFL, who played the position of wide receiver. He has played for the Chicago Bears, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Minnesota Vikings, as well as the Rhein Fire. He founded the Marcus Robinson Foundation for underprivileged children. He is referred to by commentators as "goo goo g'joob" Marcus Robinson, a play on a line from the Simon and Garfunkel song, "Mrs. Robinson."
[edit] High school career
Robinson attended Peach County High School in Fort Valley, Georgia, where he starred in football and track. In football, he won All-America and All-State honors as a wide receiver, free safety, and punter. In track, he won regional titles on the 100 and 200 meter dashes. He also played wide receiver at the University of South Carolina.
[edit] NFL career
Marcus Robinson was the leading wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings before he was inexplicably cut on Christmas Eve, 2006. The unusual move came a day after the St. Paul Pioneer Press published an interview with Robinson in which he expressed displeasure with the Vikings' 6-9 record.[1]. He was signed by the Chicago Bears again in 2008, but retired before training camp.
