The Miami Dolphins need the next great pass-rusher in the upcoming NFL Draft, which at the moment is set for April 23rd. With a number of viable options to add to the edge pass rush, Miami could be searching for the next Jason Taylor, Cam Wake, or Adewale Ogunleye at the start of Round 3. Highsmith recorded 14 sacks in his final season at Charlotte, in a career that began as a walk-on. He earned a scholarship, and worked as hard as any player to improve and succeed.
His 4.7 40-yard dash time, mixed with his strength and nose for the ball, adds to the potential of him being a possible sack specialist.
