Actually the list is currently up to 9 or so but I can't keep up with the info.

They signed a Pitt DT, and Arkansas St Safety, ND RB, Penn St WR, Tex AM WR, Missouri DE, A Linebacker from Utah I believe, Purdue Safety

They are signing them very fast, I am sure I missed a couple guys

That Tex AM WR Jeff Fuller owned now Arizona Cardinals star CB (then LSU star CB) Patrick Peterson in the Cotton Bowl  a couple years back. Think he had something like 7 or 8 receptions for 80+ yards. Was running circles around him every which way in that game. And that was the year Peterson gave up little to anything as a CB all season.

Title: Dolphins sign two receivers and other free agents!
Post by: Diehard_Dolfan on April 29, 2012, 01:47:43 pm
The Dolphins signed receivers Jeff Fuller and Derek Moye along with Notre Dame running back Jonas Gray...  here's the link.

http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_football_dolphins/2012/04/miami-dolphins-undrafted-free-agent-deals.html (http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_football_dolphins/2012/04/miami-dolphins-undrafted-free-agent-deals.html)

It seems Philbin likes the Jordy Nelson mold for hs receivers.  Nelson was considered slow running a 4.62 but has good hands and route running at 6'3".  All the wr's we've signed are 6' 2" or taller and around that 4.5 - 4.6 speed range with good hands!

Typically does a pretty good job every year.

Ireland invited TE Nick Mandich, the son of the late Jim Mandich, to Dolphins mini-camp this upcoming weekend for a tryout. Nick went to Southern Connecticut and went undrafted (as expected he isn't a prospect by any means he only caught 12 passes last year in DIV II)

Good job by Ireland, Ross, and the Dolphins organization. Classy move!

The Miami Dolphins? The softer friendlier Miami Dolphins? WTF is up with that? I concur, very classy move. Hope they at least bought him a plane ticket too.

Former Miami Hurricane Jacory "Stringbean" Harris was invited to the rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.  I say with four QB's already in camp, he's just someone to throw the ball during drills and is not going to get a UFA contract.

Fuller can play, decent WR. I was surprised he wasn't picked.
