Born in Ruston, Louisiana, Robinson moved to Cleburne, Texas, where he excelled as a standout cornerback at Cleburne High School, earning all-district honors and helping lead his team to a playoff appearance. At the University of Tulsa, he transitioned from wide receiver to cornerback during his freshman year, emerging as a key defensive back by his junior season in 2019. That year, he earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors after tallying 38 tackles, four interceptions, and 13 pass breakups, showcasing elite ball skills and speed with a 4.44-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine.[2][3] Professional career
Robinson's NFL debut came with the Cowboys in 2020, where he appeared in five games, logging one tackle and one forced fumble before suffering a season-ending ACL injury. He missed the 2021 season recovering from the injury.[4] After being waived by the Cowboys and claimed by the Houston Texans in 2022 (playing no regular-season games), he was waived and claimed by the Cleveland Browns later that year, contributing in four games with one solo tackle. Following his release from the Browns in August 2022, Robinson played for the Seattle Sea Dragons of the XFL and the DC Defenders of the UFL in 2023. He rejoined the Browns in 2024, appearing in four games as a rotational player and special teams asset through the 2024 season. As of November 2025, Robinson continues to serve as a depth cornerback for the Browns, valued for his length (6-foot-1 frame) and coverage instincts in zone schemes.[5]
Early life and high school
Early life
Reginald Robinson II was born on April 14, 1997, in Ruston, Louisiana.[1] His parents are Reginald Robinson and Celeta Robinson.[1] His father had played college football on the defensive line at Grambling State University during the 1980s.[6] The family relocated to Cleburne, Texas, early in Robinson's childhood, where he spent his formative years.[7] During third or fourth grade in Cleburne, a school hearing test revealed that Robinson was deaf in one ear, a condition his father attributed to possible exposure to loud noises from construction work or music during pregnancy.[6] Despite this challenge, Robinson adapted by learning to position himself to hear with his functional ear and wore a prominent hearing aid, which occasionally drew attention from peers but did not deter his activities.[8] Robinson's early interest in sports was influenced by his father's athletic background, and he began participating in local peewee football leagues in Cleburne.[6] Growing up in a household of Pittsburgh Steelers fans, Robinson himself supported the New Orleans Saints, reflecting his Louisiana roots.[9]High school career
Reggie Robinson attended Cleburne High School in Cleburne, Texas, where he was a three-year letterwinner and starter in football.[10] He played primarily as a safety on defense and wide receiver on offense, starting three seasons at safety and two years at receiver.[10] He also competed in track and field, where he ran a personal best of 10.68 seconds in the 100 meters, setting a school record.[11] During his junior year in 2013, Robinson recorded 80.5 tackles, seven passes defensed, and one interception on defense, while contributing 36 receptions for 811 yards and nine touchdowns on offense.[12] As a senior in 2014, he tallied 45 tackles, two interceptions, and three pass breakups, showcasing his defensive versatility.[10] Robinson earned All-District first-team honors on defense as a junior and was a multiple-time All-District and All-Johnson County selection across his junior and senior seasons.[12][13] His performances drew recruitment interest from several college programs, including offers from Kansas State, Minnesota, North Texas, Stanford, Texas State, and UConn.[12] Ultimately, he committed to the University of Tulsa, signing as a three-star recruit in February 2015.[14][15]College career
University of Tulsa
Reggie Robinson began his college football career at the University of Tulsa after signing with the Golden Hurricane out of Cleburne High School in Texas.[14] As a redshirt freshman in 2016, Robinson played in all 13 games, including seven starts and the Miami Beach Bowl victory over Central Michigan, recording 37 tackles and seven passes defensed while contributing one forced fumble.[1][16] In his sophomore season of 2017, he appeared in 12 games with 11 starts, tallying 38 tackles and a career-high nine passes defensed at that point, solidifying his role in Tulsa's secondary.[1][16] Robinson's junior year in 2018 was hampered by injury, limiting him to eight games and causing him to miss four contests, during which he still managed 19 tackles and five passes defensed, along with a blocked extra point against Navy.[1][16] During his senior campaign in 2019, Robinson rebounded strongly, playing in 12 games and leading the American Athletic Conference with 13 passes defensed while recording 38 tackles, four interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and one blocked kick, earning him First-Team All-AAC honors as a cornerback.[1][16][17] Over his four seasons at Tulsa, Robinson developed into a prototypical shutdown cornerback known for his length, ball skills, and physicality in coverage, amassing 21 passes defensed through his first three years before his breakout senior performance, and participating in one bowl game appearance.[1][16][14]College statistics

Professional career
Dallas Cowboys
Reggie Robinson was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round (123rd overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft.[18][6][19] He signed a four-year rookie contract worth $4.02 million, including a signing bonus of $729,000.[5][20][21] During his rookie season in 2020, Robinson transitioned from cornerback to safety during training camp and appeared in five games, primarily contributing on special teams with 61 snaps.[4][22] He recorded one solo tackle and one forced fumble in limited action, including a defensive snap in the season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.[4][23][24] In 2021, Robinson suffered a toe injury during the preseason and was placed on injured reserve on August 17, sidelining him for the entire season with no games played.[25][26][27] The Cowboys waived Robinson on March 11, 2022, as part of roster adjustments ahead of free agency.[28][29][5]Houston Texans
On March 14, 2022, the Houston Texans claimed cornerback Reggie Robinson off waivers from the Dallas Cowboys.[30] Robinson, a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, had recorded one special teams tackle in five games as a rookie.[31] His acquisition provided depth to the Texans' secondary during the offseason rebuild.[32] Robinson's tenure with the Texans lasted just over two months, during which he competed for a roster spot amid a crowded cornerback group that included veterans like Steven Nelson and incoming draft prospects.[33][34] The team waived him on May 16, 2022, prior to the start of training camp, as part of broader roster adjustments to accommodate other waiver wire additions like defensive back Kendall Sheffield.[35][36] He did not appear in any preseason or regular-season games for Houston and was not signed to their practice squad.[4]Cleveland Browns
On May 17, 2022, the Cleveland Browns claimed cornerback Reggie Robinson II off waivers from the Houston Texans to bolster their defensive backfield depth.[37] Two days later, on May 19, the Browns waived him with a failed physical designation after an undisclosed injury surfaced during evaluation.[38] The team quickly re-signed Robinson on May 23, allowing him to remain in training camp as they assessed his recovery.[39] Throughout training camp, Robinson received limited snaps due to ongoing injury concerns, preventing him from making a significant impact or recording any notable statistics.[40] He did not appear in any preseason games before the Browns waived him again on August 5, 2022, this time with an injury designation, clearing the way for the signing of cornerback Lavert Hill.[41] Robinson's brief tenure occurred amid stiff competition in the Browns' secondary, where established starters Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams anchored the cornerback positions, and emerging talents like Martin Emerson vied for rotational and depth roles ahead of the regular season.[42]XFL and UFL stints
Robinson was selected by the Seattle Sea Dragons in the fifth round (20th overall) of Group 2 in the 2023 XFL Draft.[43][44] On February 7, 2023, the DC Defenders claimed Robinson off waivers from the Sea Dragons.[45] He was released by the Defenders on February 10 but re-signed on April 18.[46] During the 2023 XFL season, Robinson appeared in one game for the Defenders without recording any statistics.[47] Following the merger of the XFL and USFL into the United Football League (UFL), Robinson was not selected in the 2024 UFL dispersal draft on January 15 and did not participate in the season.[48]2024–present
Reggie Robinson II was not selected in the 2024 United Football League (UFL) dispersal draft, leaving him as an unrestricted free agent without an immediate signing to an NFL team or other professional league.[48] No workout invitations, tryouts, or involvement in minor leagues were reported for Robinson during the 2024 offseason, as he remained unsigned amid a crowded market for defensive backs. As of November 2025, the 28-year-old Robinson continues as an unsigned free agent, with no confirmed practice squad opportunities or returns to the NFL roster.[49][5] At age 28, Robinson faces heightened challenges in securing an NFL return due to intense competition at cornerback, where the 2025 free agency class includes established veterans and emerging talents competing for limited spots.[50]NFL career statistics
Reggie Robinson II's NFL regular season statistics reflect a brief and limited tenure plagued by injuries that restricted him to just five games across his entire professional career.[4] Drafted in the fourth round (123rd overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, Robinson was projected as a developmental cornerback with strong ball skills and length, but persistent health issues prevented him from meeting those expectations and securing consistent playing time.[51] He recorded modest defensive contributions solely in his rookie season, with no appearances in regular season games thereafter despite affiliations with multiple teams.[4] The following table summarizes his year-by-year regular season defensive statistics, highlighting the concentration of activity in 2020 and subsequent inactivity. Data excludes preseason, postseason, and non-NFL leagues.[4]| Year | Team | Games Played (G) | Games Started (GS) | Combined Tackles | Solo Tackles | Assisted Tackles | Interceptions (INT) | Passes Defended (PD) | Forced Fumbles (FF) |
