Robertson played for the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe in 2002. He set an NFL Europe record for the longest run from scrimmage (a 90-yard touchdown against the Frankfurt Galaxy), played against the Berlin Thunder in World Bowl X, and was eventually named NFL Europe's offensive MVP.
After his stellar performance in NFL Europe, Robertson was signed as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 2002.
Robertson was signed by the Panthers in 2004 after being waived by the 49ers. He has been used primarily as a kick returner, but injuries to Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster, and Nick Goings have given him the opportunity to play from the running back position. He gained 71 yards on 16 attempts in 2004, and 41 yards on 14 attempts in 2005. However, Robertson was released in the final round of cuts before the 2006 NFL season. [1]
On December 13, 2006 Robertson was signed by the Atlanta Falcons due to injuries to Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood.
