"I was trying to rob a man for a Hellcat, and it went wrong. I wasn't thinking," the teen told police, according to prosecutors.
Robinson was shot in the knee and hip on Aug. 28 after wrestling with another boy, who was 16 at the time. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and was released from the hospital one day after the shooting.
The running back missed four games, making his NFL debut in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans.
