Florida State safety Jammie Robinson drafted by Carolina in fifth round

He was one of the best players on the Florida State football team the last two seasons.
And now he has a new home.
Jammie Robinson, the two-time All-ACC safety for the Seminoles, was drafted in the fifth round (145th pick overall) by the Carolina Panthers on Saturday, the final day of the 2023 NFL Draft.
The South Carolina transfer led the FSU defense in tackles each of the last two years. In 2021, he registered 85 tackles, including seven for loss, and a had a team-high four interceptions.
Last year, as one of the key cogs in the Seminoles’ 10-3 season, the Cordele, Ga., native had 99 tackles and one interception in helping lead a remarkable turnaround for the defense and for the team as a whole.
