Miami Dolphins wide receiver Erik Ezukanma is still waiting for his chance to shine.
After the 2022 fourth-round pick sat for most of his rookie year and was injured for the majority of year two, it seemed he was finally primed to make an impact in 2024. Instead, he spent his third NFL season on the Dolphins’ practice squad and was elevated for only two games.
“I feel like it was a very humbling experience I might have needed,” Ezukanma told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. “Everyone’s dream is to make it to the second contract. Sometimes you need to be where your feet are [and not get distracted by the future]. It was a very humbling experience, and I was glad to be retained on the practice squad at least.”
