Is It Time to Hit the Panic Button on Miami Dolphins CB Noah Igbinoghene?

When Auburn cornerback Noah Igbinoghene was drafted with Miami’s third first-round pick (30th overall) in the 2020 NFL Draft, many were quick to mention that Igbinoghene was relatively inexperienced at the CB position - playing only two years of college ball on defense after playing wide receiver his freshman season. Plenty of folks predicted early struggles for the youngster – only 20 years old at the start of his rookie year – and they were quickly proven right when Igbinoghene was tasked with covering veteran wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, in only his 2nd game as a professional when high priced off-season acquisition, Byron Jones, went down with an injury during Miami’s early-season contest against Buffalo last year.
