Lifeguard-turned-Miami Dolphins guard schooling Florida's youth on water safety

MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins guard Solomon Kindley has held the nickname "Big Fish" since he was a small kid, but he truly earned the moniker during the summer of 2016 while visiting Georgia Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart's lake house.

Smart hosted a group of freshman players for some fun in the water following summer workouts. Bulldogs running back Brian Herrien, who could not swim, wore a life jacket and camped out in the shallow end, but once Kindley and his teammates decided to take out the boat, he didn't want to be left behind and asked to join.
