When national media outlets talk about the Miami Dolphins’ defense, they always single out their strong secondary. They’ve earned that distinction, but Miami’s front seven might be competing for attention after 2021.

They may lack the big names and bloated contracts that usually accompany such a distinction, but that makes it all the more impressive. Chris Grier and the front office should be praised for assembling this group because they did it on the cheap and they used a variety of roster building techniques.
