Keilan Robinson named to Eagles' 90-man roster

 

Philadelphia, PA – June 7, 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their roster by claiming running back and return specialist Keilan Robinson off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars, securing his spot on their 90-man roster as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.

Robinson, a 25-year-old fifth-round pick (167th overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft, brings a dynamic skill set to Philadelphia. Known for his electrifying speed and versatility, the former Texas Longhorn and Alabama Crimson Tide standout has already shown promise as a special teams contributor. During his brief stint with the Jaguars in 2024, Robinson appeared in six games, primarily on special teams, where he returned two kickoffs for 34 yards. His college career was highlighted by an impressive 24.2 yards per kickoff return average, ranking eighth in Texas program history, and 897 total kickoff return yards, placing him ninth.

The Eagles’ decision to claim Robinson comes as no surprise given his athletic prowess, demonstrated by a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, a 33-inch vertical jump, and a 10-foot-5-inch broad jump. These metrics underscore his potential as a game-changer in the return game, a role Philadelphia aims to strengthen following the departure of key special teams players.

“Keilan is a multi-faceted player who can impact the game in various ways,” an Eagles spokesperson noted. “His speed and instincts make him a valuable addition, particularly on special teams, where he can compete as a kick returner and gunner.”

Robinson’s journey to the NFL has been marked by resilience. After a productive freshman year at Alabama in 2019, where he rushed for 254 yards and two touchdowns, he transferred to Texas in 2021. There, he carved out a niche as a special teams standout while contributing as a change-of-pace back, amassing 796 rushing yards and eight touchdowns over three seasons. His 2022 season was particularly notable, earning honorable mention All-Big 12 honors as a return specialist and recognition for his special teams contributions, including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown.

Despite a toe injury that sidelined him for the first 11 games of the 2024 season with Jacksonville, Robinson’s recent performances in practice signaled a full recovery, making him an attractive pickup for the Eagles. To accommodate Robinson on the 90-man roster, Philadelphia waived rookie wide receiver Ife Adeyi.

Eagles Cheerleader Sues an Eagles Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A charming, dynamic cheerleader from the Philadelphia Eagles is "exploding" and dragging a team player to court for "unforgivable" behaviors! Abigale Licciardi – the star of the Eagles Cheer Squad – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the drama behind it is stirring up NFL fans! Could this be the "biggest scandal" in Eagles history? Read now to discover the "scorching" details! Abigale Licciardi, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL, is a prominent member of the Eagles Cheer Squad group. She is a former student at the University of Pennsylvania, where she participated in the local cheer squad and dance activities. Before that, Abigale was a dancer for NBA events and holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Temple University. Abigale is active on social media, often sharing about games at Lincoln Financial Field, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Eagles. As part of the Eagles Cheer Squad team consisting of about 47 members (combining male and female), Abigale participates in fan interactions, charity events like "Dream On 3," and performances at Eagles games. She has an Instagram account (@abigalelicciardi) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@abigale_eagles) where she shares videos about game days and dance routines. Before joining the Eagles, she worked at a local event company, proving her versatility and passion. But the "nightmare" struck when Abigale got "entangled" with an Eagles player! That's Mike Thornton, a backup defensive end who rarely plays for the Eagles – a guy who's practically "anonymous" to fans, only playing sporadically on special teams and never a pillar. Thornton, 29 years old, has been married since 2021 to his wife, a community nurse, and they have two young children (one boy and one girl). Yet, according to Abigale's lawsuit, Thornton has been "flirting" with her recklessly, despite his happy family life! The "explosion" happened when Thornton started sending "sweet" messages to Abigale via Instagram, praising her smile and energy after performances. At first, Abigale thought it was just friendly praise from a teammate, but things quickly "crossed the line" into harassment! Thornton called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 1-2 a.m. – to "share" about playing pressures, invite her for private dinners, and even send "suggestive" videos filmed at the gym! Abigale stated in the lawsuit: "He knows I only focus on my career and the team, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls make me anxious and stressed, severely affecting my performance!" According to insider sources, Thornton has been "stalking" Abigale since preseason, frequently "lingering" at community events she attends, and intentionally "creating situations" to approach her. Thornton's wife, upon learning, went "crazy" and threatened to break up, but the guy remains "blind"! The Eagles are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily isolated Thornton for investigation, while fans are divided – one side defends Abigale's "brave accusation," the other suspects it's a "staged script." The NFL league is also intervening, which could lead to heavy fines or removal from the roster! Abigale, with her "queen" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a thorny issue in the sports world! How will the court punish Thornton? And will the Eagles "clean up" the team to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
