He’ll likely compete with Cam Smith, a 2023 second-round pick, Storm Duck, who had a productive season as an undrafted rookie, and Ethan Bonner, who is entering his third NFL season, for the role as the cornerback who plays on the opposite side of Jalen Ramsey, a seven-time Pro Bowler.

Burns adds depth to a Dolphins cornerback room, which currently includes Jalen Ramsey, Kader Kohou, Storm Duck, Cam Smith, Ethan Bonner, Jason Maitre, and Isaiah Johnson. Burns provides Miami with an extra layer of veteran depth on the backend, which should help a young, inexperienced secondary in 2025.

The Miami Northwestern High grad who played college football at UM becomes the Dolphins’ first offseason acquisition at cornerback.
