Damien Robinson (born December 22, 1973 in Dallas, Texas) is a former safety of the NFL. He played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets, and Seattle Seahawks. He attended college at the University of Iowa.
Robinson is best known for the November 4th, 2001 event at the Louisiana Superdome. His Jets were leading the New Orleans Saints, 16-9, late in the ball game. After a routine offensive play, Robinson inexplicably grabbed the facemask of Saints quarterback Aaron Brooks and continually pulled at the mask. Saints offensive lineman Kyle Turley was furious, pulled Robinson's helmet off, flung it across the field, and made an obscene gesture. Robinson later was fined $20,000 by the NFL for his actions.
