In 1998 the Miami Dolphins selected CB Patrick Surtain with the 44th overall pick in the 2nd round . Surtain would go on to play a total of 7 years with the Miami Dolphins and tallied a total of 29 Interceptions as he became one of the top corner backs in the league .
2021 draft definitely had the feels as with the 11th pick of the 1st round the Miami Dolphins proceeded to take their one time superstar's son , Patrick Surtain Jr . All the reports show he will most likely have a better career than his father . Starting at FS for the Dolphins due to their depth , Surtain Jr has already impressed everyone as hes intercepted 2 balls and has taken both picks for 6 points in only the 1st two games of the season . This is great news for the dolphins as their future looks bright . " i will be wearing #23 to show love to the man whose taught me everything i know " said Surtain Jr .
For years Tom brady and Bill Belicheck have ran with the AFC division . After Tom Brady departed from the Patriots, it left the AFC division wide open for any team to take over . Both the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins have put together great young talent and recently look like the 2 front runners to be atop the AFC East for years to come
2020 Season belongs to the Miami Dolphins. Winning their division after a week 14 win versus Mahomes and the Chiefs for the first time since 2008 , The Dolphins are looking to make some noise . With their explosive offense lead by their young star qb , and a few additions through trades , they are set to compete for a superbowl .
Leonard Fournette finally found a home . After being traded from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Buccaneers, Fournette was barely being used as his highest carry per game was 6 before week 5 . What was once a Freak Superstar in LSU, and first few years with the Jaguars, quickly became an afterthought once he was traded to Tampa Bay .
The Miami Dolphins expressed interest in the back since he was traded , finalizing a deal after week 4 . Fournette was walking to a team where the starting running back was leading the league in yards . But after a few weeks in practice Fournette eventually got the opportunity to start , and hasnt given his spot up since . In the last two weeks Fournette has ran for over 350 yards and has totalled a total of 7 touchdowns in just the 2 weeks . His gameplay and leadership got him the C on his chest and now leads the Miami Dolphins offensive as their workload. In a trade where basically nothing was given for the young stud, Miami seems to be very happy with their new workhorse
Football has a crazy way of working out . Going into the season the Miami Dolphins were expected to be a dominant defensive team and an offensive team that needed some work . Things couldnt be more backwards as its the Miami offense that has led the way to their 2-1 start . And in the game lost, it was the defense that let them down . This team was expected to be led by their rookie qb and veteran Hb Breida, however , Miami Dolphins turned to their rookie HB Salvon Ahmed .
Salvon Ahmed is unexpectedly one of the top 3 running backs through the first 3 weeks of the 2020 season and showing no signs of slowing down . " Coming into this season being a new head coach there werent any clear starters at the running back position . All these guys fought for the #1 spot and Ahmed won that spot by being the more complete back " idallas said . Coach idallas and the city of Miami are all excited to see what this rookie duo has in store for them this season and for the next 10 seasons .
