Dolphins News: Is Dion Jordan Down To His Last Chance In Miami?

Rated as the top defensive end prospect in the nation just two years ago, Dion Jordan has been a disappointment in many fans' eyes when it comes to the impact he's had on the football field so far with the Miami Dolphins.

Where does Jordan stand with the Dolphins' coaching staff? What is the next move? Here's PhinPhanatic's Brian Miller with his thoughts:

This off-season the Dolphins will once again experiment with the 6’6″ defensive end and use him at linebacker to see if he is a better fit there. Can he be an elite or even a good 4-3 strong side linebacker? Can he assume the role that Jason Taylor played and move around the defense to various positions? Surprisingly when he is in the game he seems very quick and has shown the ability to make plays which confounds the decision to not play him more often. Maybe they can try and convert him to TE and use him in the red-zone.

One thing is for certain, the Dolphins are not coaching this kid up. Could it be a situation of Joe Philbin never wanting him in the first place? Is it that they truly have nowhere to put him? Or could it be that Jordan simply hasn’t shown enough to warrant playing time? In all likelihood it’s a combination of all three.

It's likely that 2015 will be Jordan's last chance to really prove himself as a viable commodity before Dolphins management looks to alternative options to cut their losses.

Stay tuned.
