The Jacksonville Jaguars have released running back Keilan Robinson after just one season with the team. Robinson, a fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of the University of Texas, appeared in six games during his rookie season, primarily contributing on special teams. He returned two kickoffs for 34 yards in a Week 14 victory over the Tennessee Titans but did not record any carries on offense .
Robinson’s release comes amid a broader roster overhaul under the Jaguars’ new leadership. The team is focusing on a younger backfield, featuring returning players Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby, along with rookies Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen, and undrafted free agent Ja’Quinden Jackson .
Following his release, Robinson was quickly claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles, seeking to bolster their special teams and backfield depth, added Robinson to their roster shortly after his departure from Jacksonville .
Robinson began his collegiate career at Alabama before transferring to Texas. During his time with the Longhorns, he played in 37 games, scoring 11 total touchdowns, including two on special teams. His versatility and speed were key assets, particularly in his contributions to Texas’ special teams unit .
As Robinson transitions to the Eagles, he brings with him experience as a dynamic return specialist and a versatile offensive player. His addition to Philadelphia’s roster provides the team with additional options in both the backfield and special teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
