In the Spring of 2011, Miami Dolphins coaches were impressed by one player they saw take a significant jump from what they saw the previous season to what they were seeing only months later in the the offseason workout program.
Safety Reshad Jones was the talk of the coaching staff.
The team was only in its early part of the program but coaches were wowed by Jones’s performances -- granted, in limited team drills that did not include contact. That raised their expectations for him dramatically for the coming season and even caused them to pencil the former fifth-round draft pick as a starter.
