Kenny Robinson made his presence felt on Sunday.

The Carolina Panthers safety, who has played strictly on special teams, found himself in the right position after teammate Frankie Luvu blocked a Minnesota Vikings' punt.

The ball bounced on the turf before Robinson scooped it up at the four-yard-line, rushing the 12 yards for his first-ever NFL touchdown.
