Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Landon Robinson, a Naval Academy graduate, arrived at his first NFL game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wearing his full military dress uniform, drawing attention as the standout pregame "fit" of the league's opening week. The gesture coincided with the NFL marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks across all Sunday fixtures, and reflected Robinson's ongoing obligations as a commissioned officer following his academy training.

Robinson graduated in May 2026 with a degree in cyber operations and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, but is permitted to play professional football under a special provision allowing a limited number of service-academy athletes to do so while serving in the reserves; he has a 10-year reserve commitment. The Bengals selected him in the seventh round of the April draft, their first pick from a service academy since 1968, and although the 6-foot, 295-pound rookie was listed as inactive for the game, he had already secured a place on the 53-man roster in his debut season.
