How’s this for a plot twist? The Miami Dolphins signed a former college basketball player, who will try his luck in the NFL as a tight end.
The Dolphins on Thursday announced they signed Jibri Blount, who was the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference player of the year at North Carolina Central last season.
Blount has football in his DNA; his father is Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Mel Blount. He will also be he second in his family to join the Dolphins after his cousin, Akil, spent training camp with the team in 2016 as a linebacker.
