Wrong! The answer is Linebacker.

Correct! Linebacker

Hall of Famer Dave Robinson was drafted by 3 teams: the Green Bay Packers, San Diego Chargers, and the Montreal Alouettes. The Chargers traded his rights to the Bills, and because Robinson’s fiancé knew how cold it was in Buffalo, they chose Green Bay. Robinson played linebacker from 1963 to 1972, most notably alongside Ray Nitschke and Lee Roy Caffey, forming one of the best linebacker trios of all time. Robinson was a 3-time All-Pro and a 3-time NFL Champion. In the offseason, Robinson worked at Schlitz Brewery in Milwaukee, which eventually led to his second career in the beer business.
