Dolphins to coach two Alabama stars at Senior Bowl with NFL draft in sight

A dream scenario seems to be playing out for the Miami Dolphins, who will have two of the 2021 NFL draft’s best offensive prospects on their team during next week’s Senior Bowl.

Alabama star receiver Devonta Smith, the Heisman Trophy winner, and his teammate, tailback Najee Harris have committed to participate in next week’s showcase game for the draft’s top senior prospects, and they have been assigned to the National Team that will be coached by the Dolphins.

That means Brian Flores and his staff will spend an entire week coaching Smith and Harris — who are both projected as possible first-round picks, and likely targets for the playmaker-starved Dolphins — along with others, gaining an intimate understanding of their personalities, work ethic and football acumen.
