Dolphins fifth round pick Curtis Weaver could be the team’s future at DE

Many in the NFL media circles believe that former Boise State defensive end, Curtis Weaver, was a steal for the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round. He may be but he has work to do.

Weaver is a fun-loving youthful football player who has the physicality and athleticism to be great in the NFL. The Dolphins up until recently had years of success at DE and now, Weaver needs to become the future at the position.

Trace Armstrong mentored Jason Taylor, Taylor mentored Cameron Wake, Wake tried to mentor Charles Harris. Now, Curtis Weaver will have to look towards Shaq Lawson and Kyle Van Noy for how to set the edge and get to the passer at the NFL level.
