The Miami Dolphins have shuffled and reshuffled their roster multiple times this offseason under the guidance of new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. Plenty of draft picks from the Chris Grier era have been jettisoned, while plenty of new players have arrived in sunny South Florida as well.
However, it’s a former Grier draft pick who was let go prior to the start of the 2025 season who has found a new home in the National Football League this morning. Erik Ezukanma — former fourth round pick of Miami
in the 2022 NFL Draft — has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Ezukanma spent the early part of 2026 as member of the DC Defenders in the United Football League. He played 12 total games with the Defenders — totaling 19 receptions for 264 receiving yards and 1 touchdown. Prior to joining the UFL, Ezukanma spent three seasons in Miami. During his career in the National Football League (2022 – 2024), the wide receiver nabbed just one catch for three yards in just 5 games played. He had 5 total rushes for 22 yards. He did not score any touchdowns as a member of the Miami Dolphins.
