Dolphins’ new ballhawk defender Jevon Holland hopes to absorb as much as he can as a rookie

So much so, new Dolphins safety Jevon Holland said absorb a grand total of eight times in less than nine minutes with local reporters before their weekend session ends Sunday.

Dolphins coach Brian Flores, entering Year 3 of his tenure in Miami, quickly established what he wants his rookies to take away from their first set of NFL practices together – something rookies like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa were not afforded due to COVID-19 last year.

“Everybody is a hard worker. Everybody understands that they’re coming in here trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible and to find a role,” said Holland, a second-round pick out of Oregon.
