| - Kevin Altona Robinson (born January 22, 1964 in Monticello, Florida) is a former American football quarterback in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins as a member of their replacement team during the 1987 players' strike. Robinson played college football at the University of Tennessee in 1985 as a quarterback for the Tennessee Volunteers, and was a Heisman Trophy candidate until blowing out his right knee. He was arrested in Knoxville on cocaine charges, and sentenced to 90 days on a penal farm plus 6 years probation. In 1987, during the strike, Robinson played in one game for the Redskins after Ed Rubbert was injured. He led the Redskins' replacement players to a 13-7 win over a Dallas Cowboys team that featured a number of players who had crossed the picket lines during the players' strike. His role was loosely portrayed by Keanu Reaves in the 2000 film The Replacements.
