What went wrong with Noah Igbinoghene?

Coming out of Auburn in the 2020 draft, Noah Igbinoghene was one of the mostly highly regarded cornerback classes in years - 6 were taken in the first round, including Igbinoghene.

Three years in with the Dolphins, however, he had only started in five games, and had collected a single interception. Before the 2023 season, he was traded to the Cowboys for a former second round pick, cornerback Kelvin Joseph, with each team perhaps hoping a change of scenery would benefit the pair. By any statistical account, it did not.

So how did Igbinoghene go from a former top 30 pick to signing with Washington at a vet minimum salary as a free agent over the span of four years?
