Meeting with South Florida reporters on Monday was second year linebacker, Andrew Van Ginkel. The 5th rounder draft pick out of Wisconsin stands at 6’4’’ 242 lbs. and although soft-spoken, hits hard.
The versatile linebacker overcame an early-season injury in 2019 to make a late-season push for playing time and made the most of it.
Despite an injured foot, Van Ginkel worked his way into snaps when he debuted Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns. He saved his best game for last, as his Week 17 performance up in New England was a key component in a victory that sent Miami home winners and left the Patriots on the outside of home-field advantage last January.
