The former Auburn standout welcomes a “fresh start” after three seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
Coming to Auburn from Hewitt-Trussville High School as a wide receiver, Igbinoghene made the switch to the secondary during spring practice in 2018 after one college season as a pass-catcher. After Igbinoghene’s two seasons in the Tigers’ secondary, Miami made him a surprise first-round selection.
In his second NFL game, Igbinoghene got matched against Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who took a step toward earning first-team All-Pro recognition for the 2020 season with a 153-yard performance. Igbinoghene’s rookie roller coaster also saw him take the blame for a coverage bust on a key play in a 31-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Game 4.In 2021, Igbinoghene played all 66 defensive snaps as an injury replacement in Game 6, and 12 in the remaining 16 contests.
During the offseason, the Dolphins declined to use their option for a fifth season on Igbinoghene’s rookie contract, which will make him a free agent after the 2023 season.. “And I needed to go through that, honestly. There was a certain standard of life I was living in college, and I thought it was going to translate to the league, and, obviously, it didn’t. And so there was a lot of things as a man I needed to learn.
“You got to take risks. You got to go after what you want. Just moving to corner, that’s a risk. Just playing corner in general is a risk. And so back at that time, there was no fear because I was new at it, and so it was just all new and so I kind of relate it to now. I get go into the new once again and really see what I can do. I’m excited, man, and I’m ready for it. All that stuff built me for this moment right here, so it’s a blessing.
