DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins rookie running back Jay Ajayi has performed over the last three games like the team’s front office envisioned back in May when he was drafted in the fifth round.
The 6-foot, 228-pound bruiser out of Boise State is averaging 6.8 yards per carry and has forced opposing defenses to not focus their entire strategy on stopping veteran Lamar Miller. The rib injury that landed Ajayi on the injured reserve/designated to return list at the start of the season is a distant memory, and he’ll play in his fourth game Sunday at the New York Jets.
