Dolphins LB Kiko Alonso ready to bounce back from his injury

At one point, linebacker Kiko Alonso was one of the best young defenders in the NFL, earning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors back in 2013 after being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second round. That year, he accumulated 159 total tackles, 2 sacks, a forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries, and 4 interceptions as the Bills' starting inside linebacker.

Since then, he's suffered two injuries to his ACL that have either kept him out of the game altogether or have limited his effectiveness, and now there's skepticism surrounding the former Oregon standout about whether or not he can go back to being the star he was in Buffalo.
