DAVIE, Fla. – New Miami Dolphins teammates Jelani Jenkins and Kiko Alonso have a lot in common.
For starters, both are young linebackers with a lot to prove this season. Jenkins and Alonso also enter contract years and are coming off injury-plagued seasons in 2015. Jenkins missed three games in Miami with an ankle injury and Alonso missed five games with a bad knee as a former member of the Philadelphia Eagles.
With both linebackers starting in Miami, there are plenty of reasons to begin building chemistry. Interestingly, it’s been a popular video game that’s helped bring Jenkins and Alonso closer together this offseason.
