MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Sixty-five year old Ed Newman feels he is still sharp as a tack. He must be as a Miami-Dade County court judge.
Newman still carries the bullish physique he had 44 years ago as a Miami Dolphin offensive lineman.
Back then, he admired veteran teammates like Nick Buoniconti and Jim Kiick.
Now, their mental and physical declines have Newman wondering how he would handle being in those shoes.
“My greatest fear would be the burden I would put on my family,” said Newman.
Newman has remained connected to the Dolphins through alumni functions and on game days.
