Chris Perkins: Dolphins rookie cornerbacks, drafted and undrafted, have a chance to make impact
Briefly

Since 2016, the Miami Dolphins have struggled with their late-round draft picks, with only 21% making an impact as rookies. With 6 of the 2025 draft class being fifth- to seventh-round picks, skepticism persists. However, cornerbacks B.J. Adams and Ethan Robinson, undrafted rookies, could benefit from the team's decision to not draft a cornerback this year, presenting them with a significant opportunity. Historically open to undrafted players, the Dolphins' recent practice showed promise from these rookies, suggesting they may carve a role this season despite the odds.
Since 2016, only 6 of 29 (21%) Dolphins' fifth-, sixth- and seventh-round draft picks made a mark with the team as rookies.
The draftees aren't worried about the past. They only see the future. 'Big opportunity,' said cornerback Jason Marshall Jr., a fifth-round pick.
Things might be different for UCF cornerback B.J. Adams and Minnesota cornerback Ethan Robinson, a pair of undrafted rookie free agents.
The Dolphins already feature a pair of undrafted cornerbacks in Kader Kohou and Storm Duck, which tells you they're not afraid to utilize undrafted players.
