Maybe he’s one of the players they tried out at the senior bowl and they liked him.
Let’s see if we have any decent RBs in the UDFA market
Kiper gave the draft an A
Miami Dolphins: A
Top needs: DE, WR, OLB
The Dolphins came into this draft with an extra first- and-second-round pick (added a valuable 2023 first-rounder) and had clear needs to fill. They had to get some receiving help for Tua Tagovailoa. They needed a young, talented pass-rusher to put into their edge-rushing rotation. And if they are going to move Robert Hunt to guard full-time, they had to draft a potential starter at offensive tackle.
That's why I like what general manager Chris Grier did. Tagovailoa struggled as a rookie last season, but there should be no way he averages 6.3 yards per attempt again in 2021. The addition of No. 5 overall pick Jaylen Waddle (and free-agent signing Will Fuller V) means he now has multiple playmakers to run after the catch and to target on deep balls. Waddle was the fifth-ranked player on my board. Jaelan Phillips (18) is a silky-smooth edge rusher with the physical traits to average 10 sacks per season. As I wrote Thursday night, he likely would have been a top-10 pick if he didn't have an injury history.
I really liked their Day 2 haul as well. Jevon Holland (36) will compete to start at free safety. Liam Eichenberg (42) has a good chance to be their Day 1 right tackle in place of Hunt; he was a three-year starter at left tackle for Notre Dame. Tight end Hunter Long (81) is an awesome player who will compete as a blocker and catch a few passes up the seam. He's one of my favorites in this class, and he's a nice complement for Mike Gesicki, who had 703 receiving yards last season.
Grier didn't have any picks in Rounds 4, 5 or 6, but seventh-round pick Larnel Coleman (231) has a chance to stick on the team as a swing tackle. I thought he might go in Round 5.
Looking at this roster, I don't think it's far away from being a Super Bowl contender, and the Dolphins hit their major needs. The other major bonus is that they ended up moving down three spots from No. 3 after some maneuvering and picked up that 2023 first-round pick. This is a stellar class overall, and the AFC East is going to be a fun race in 2021.

It’s not surprising coming from Gurley that he would burn out. His knee has no cartilage and he’s got arthritis in that same knee

Leveon is done so is Todd Gurley,
With Fuller and Waddle, we should now be able to have more running space. I am excited man. Hunter Long is a better blocker than Gesiki. Two tight end sets we may feast. We still have Williams for those endzone jump balls.
I can't wait for this season.
Jaelon makes a good defense even better!! I can't wait!

Leveon should be fresh, no? Think it was the Gase system he couldn’t figure out. In KC he was just a mis season acquisition that didn’t have time to really get settled. I don’t see the downside to giving him a 1 year deal as the veteran RB in the rooom
When do rookies report you rookie minicamp?
Could see a lot of current players being let go come minicamp. Grant and Wilson could be traded.
That safety we drafted is gonna be good according to a lot of people. Hope he can make some of you stop complaining about Minkah Fitzpatrick

Who the hell trading for Wilson? That man ain’t played in 2 years
Chris Grier has found ways to trade untradeable players before
