9 sourcesUpdated Sep 14, 2026
Landon Robinson, Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive tackle and seventh-round pick, arrived at Paycor Stadium in his U.S. Navy Service Dress Blue uniform before his first NFL game. A former Naval Academy standout, Robinson is a 2026 Navy graduate and Marine Corps officer serving in the reserves. He is permitted to pursue professional football under a service-academy program. Video of the arrival went viral. Robinson remained inactive for the Bengals' season opener against Tampa Bay. Left-rated headlines from Bleacher Report and the Akron Beacon Journal foregrounded the viral video of the uniformed arrival and identified Robinson as a Copley, Ohio native. Right-rated headlines from Fox News and Breitbart described him as a former Navy midshipman and Navy graduate appearing in full dress or formal service uniform. The record lists no center-rated coverage and includes no verbatim quotes.
