An undrafted cornerback out of Minnesota, Ethan Robinson made his mark on Miami with a game-sealing preseason interception before earning a regular-season debut.
Ethan Robinson is a cornerback who signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2025 after a productive final season with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. He built his college career at Bucknell before transferring to a Power Four program, and he broke through with Miami in a preseason moment that turned heads.
Path to the league
Robinson started 26 games over three seasons at Bucknell from 2021 to 2023, leading the team in pass breakups as a freshman and earning first-team All-Patriot League honors as a junior with 50 tackles, 10 pass breakups and three interceptions. He transferred to Minnesota for his final 2024 season, starting all 13 games with 42 tackles, eight pass breakups and three interceptions, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten before going undrafted in 2025.
Career highlights
Across his four college seasons at Bucknell and Minnesota, Robinson totaled 196 tackles, 31 passes defended and eight interceptions in 44 games, the kind of ball-production track record that made him an intriguing undrafted signing for Miami in 2025.
2025 season recap
Robinson delivered an early signature moment for the Dolphins, sealing a preseason win over the Detroit Lions with a diving interception near Miami's own goal line. After roster cuts and time on the practice squad, he was promoted to the active roster in December and made his regular-season NFL debut against Cincinnati, playing eight special-teams snaps.
