BattleHawks safety Kenny Robinson drafted in fifth round by Panthers
CHARLOTTE – The Carolina Panthers drafted former St. Louis BattleHawks safety Kenny Robinson in the fifth round of the NFL draft.
With the selection, Robinson becomes the first XFL player to be drafted by an NFL team.
The 21-year-old defender’s path to the NFL has certainly been interesting. Robinson was a first-team All-Big 12 pick in 2018 for the West Virgina Mountaineers, before leaving the school and joining the XFL BattleHawks in 2020.
Robinson had two interceptions and 21 tackles in five games with St. Louis.
