MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — A former University of Miami standout may be getting a second chance in the NFL.
Running back Mark Walton, arrested three times this offseason by police in Miami, has signed with his hometown Dolphins.
Walton tried out this week, when coach Brian Flores said he was aware of the legal issues.
“I think people deserve a second chance,” Flores said Saturday. “I don’t want to judge people based on one incident, two incidents.”
Walton was drafted in the fourth round a year ago by the Cincinnati Bengals and played mostly on special teams in 2018.
