“He’s just excited to play, man,” Waddle told reporters, viaDolphinsWire.com. “I think all of us are. He looks confident, coming out with a different swag. He’s got dye in his hair and some other stuff. He looks like he’s just eager to play, man.”
Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN names Dolphins LB Grayson Murphy as a potential surprise player in 2025 after making “splash plays” in Miami’s offseason program.
Louis-Jacques could see Murphy being a situational player or “rotational pass-rush depth.”
ESPN’s Rich Cimini names veteran WR Josh Reynolds as a potential surprise player for the Jets this year after emerging as the “clear-cut leader for the WR2 job.”
Cimini notes that Reynolds has “separated” himself from WR Allen Lazard and others on the depth chart.
