Barret Robbins (born August 26, 1973 in Houston, Texas) is a former American Football center for the National Football League Oakland Raiders where he played for nine seasons between 1995 to 2003. After playing for Texas Christian University, where he was a member of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity, he was taken by the Oakland Raiders in the 2nd round of the 1995 draft. He became one of the NFL's best centers, being elected to the Pro Bowl in 2002. While being the leader of the Raiders offensive line that led them to Super Bowl XXXVII, he was kicked out by the Raiders after he went missing for most of the week before the Super Bowl, and ended up in the hospital before the game because of his bipolar disorder and depression.
His name and those of several of his team members were found on the list of clients of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative that had given performance-enhancing drugs to Marion Jones and others.
On January 15, 2005, Robbins was shot three times during a brawl with police in Miami Beach, and was subsequently charged with attempted murder for his role. Under a plea agreement, Robbins pled guilty to five charges, including the attempted murder charge, and was sentenced to five years probation, ordered to receive treatment for his bipolar disorder, and to avoid alcohol.
From 2005 to 2008, Robbins' problems with substance abuse led to jail time for probation violations and several attempts to rehab. As of February 2009, he was in a substance-abuse treatment facility in Houston, and was moved into a halfway house in June 2009.[1][2]
