The Miami Dolphins signed just under 450 undrafted free agents this offseason - or at least it felt like it. In a year where the Dolphins are clearly rebuilding the foundation of the franchise and looking to get younger, the addition of UDFAs could be a key part of that build. But, will any of them make enough of an impact this summer to stay on the 53-man regular-season roster?
Officially, the Dolphins signed 18 players as undrafted free agents:
Ryan Anderson, C, Wake Forest
Shaq Calhoun, G, Mississippi State
Wesley Farnsworth, LS, Nevada
Terrill Hanks, LB, New Mexico State
Montre Hartage, DB, Northwestern
Dewayne Hendrix, DE, Pittsburgh
Tyler Horton, CB, Boise State
Trenton Irwin, WR, Stanford
Patrick Laird, RB, California
Jonathan Ledbetter, DE, Georgia
Aaron Monterio, OT, Boston College
Chris Myarick, TE, Temple
Nik Needham, CB, UTEP
Rob Rolle, S, Villanova
Cory Thomas, DT, Mississippi State
Tre’ Watson, LB, Maryland
Preston Williams, WR, Colorado Sate
Stone Wilson, P, FIU
The Dolphins also signed some rookies who are not technically “undrafted free agents” because they were signed by another team prior to the Dolphins, but still fit the mold of a UDFA trying to make the roster.
