Xavien Howard got his extension but the Miami Dolphins didn’t get to see much of him during their teardown 2019 rebuilding season. Howard spent most of the season on IR with a knee injury. Now healthy, the team needs him to show why he is their best defender.
Howard is the best player on defense and it really isn’t close. Last year Howard wasn’t able to show the team his value or that he warranted an extension but he is healthy now or will be the start of the off-season workouts and the Dolphins need him to become the leader they envision.
