Pouncey, Thomas And Co. Rookies No Longer by Stephen Cohen

Carrying teammates’ pads, picking up food and getting ridiculous haircuts are just some examples of the chores that rookies have to endure in the NFL. This form of “welcoming” is an amusing way for the veterans to put the rookies in their place while they learn the league. However, that is just the “off-the-field” part of being a rookie.

In his brief career, Vontae Davis has shown the ability to make a play on a ball that few others would pursue.

The Dolphins corner enters his fourth year focused on determining how to consistently position himself to make  more of these game-changing interceptions.

Davis sat down with Jesse Agler to talk about his increased leadership role and what has changed since the new coaching staff arrived. 

The first round of OTA practices has been completed, setting the stage for what should be a compelling summer.

Dolphins safety Reshad Jones joined The Finsiders to talk about the competition for playing time at safety and the new defense’s burgeoning identity.

The departure of Yeremiah Bell, who was drafted by the Dolphins in 2003, has opened the door for someone in the Dolphins’ young secondary to be the unit’s vocal leader.

As the NFL draft continues to evolve, one thing remains the same.

Mel Kiper will be there, draft notes in hand, to break it all down.

Kiper, who has been covering the draft and evaluating players for over 30 years, recently participated in a conference call to discuss this year’s hot topics.

Even though he’s a seasoned veteran, Kiper still must adjust his evaluating techniques to counter trends that surface in the league.

With all of the emphasis in the NFL on offense, it has become increasingly important for defenses around the League to find a guy or two who is not just a playmaker, but a game-changer. While many of these guys are elite pass rushers, having a stud in the secondary can be highly beneficial as teams try to slow down the high-octane passing attacks used by most offenses.
