Robinson, who taped his appearance last week, recently told “NFL Access” that “watching the stories” on “The Young and the Restless” is a guilty pleasure of his.

The football player will appear alongside Eric Braeden, who portrays Victor Newman on the series.

“It was an amazing experience! I’ve been a fan for years and it was great to meet the personalities on the show,” Robinson said of his appearance.
Robinson went on to say: “I’ve always thought ‘Y&R’ was the best show on daytime television because their storylines are always entertaining and intriguing. They welcomed me with open arms and I felt like a part of the ‘Y&R’ family.”
