An undrafted cornerback who forced his way into Miami's starting lineup before a Week 1 ankle injury ended his 2025 season early.
Storm Duck signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville in 2024 and quickly carved out a role in the secondary. He opened 2025 as a starting cornerback in Miami before an ankle injury against Indianapolis in Week 1 sidelined him for most of the year, leaving him looking to reclaim his spot heading into 2026.
Path to the league
Duck began his college career at North Carolina from 2019 to 2022 before transferring to Louisville for his final season in 2023, where he finished second on the team in pass breakups with seven. He went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft and signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent.
Career highlights
As a rookie in 2024, Duck appeared in 14 games with three starts, recording 35 tackles, including one for a loss, and four passes defended. His steady rookie-year play earned him a chance to compete for a starting cornerback job in his second season.
2025 season recap
Duck opened the 2025 season as a starting cornerback for Miami, but an ankle injury suffered in the Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts sidelined him for the bulk of the season. He is now working to return to full health and reclaim his starting role.
