The Miami Dolphins have successfully signed all of their 2024 NFL draft selections, concluding their signings with first-round draft pick Chop Robinson, sources including Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston confirmed on Thursday.
At 21 years old, Robinson, who was the 21st overall pick back in April, has agreed to a four-year deal worth $14,976,000. This agreement also contains a fifth-year option that the Dolphins could opt into during the 2027 offseason, the financials of which will be determined by Robinson’s playtime and whether he earns Pro Bowl distinctions.
This signing follows the Dolphins’ recent agreement with their second-round pick, Patrick Paul, on Tuesday, and sees all their draft picks from this year under contract following the signing of their remaining draftees last week.
Robinson, a standout talent from Penn State following his transfer from Maryland, has made waves in collegiate football. During his last season, he was honored as a First-Team All-Big Ten selection, a testament to his dominant performance on the field which includes 11.5 sacks and 20 tackles for loss. His impressive athleticism was further highlighted during the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine where, at 254 pounds, he clocked an astonishing 40-yard dash time of 4.48 seconds.
Given the Dolphins’ current situation with starting pass rushers Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips sidelined due to injuries from the previous season, Robinson’s addition to the team could be pivotal. His early impact could very well be a game-changer for the Dolphins as they look to bolster their defense for the upcoming season.
