Dolphins | Ikaika Alama-Francis works with starters Sunday Sun Aug 29, 07:48 PM
Miami Dolphins LB Ikaika Alama-Francis worked with the team's starters at strongside linebacker during their practice Sunday, Aug. 29, reports Mike Berardino, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. LB Koa Misi worked with the second unit, but he also got some time with the starters as well, according to head coach Tony Sparano.
| Footballguys view: Alama-Francis is ultra-athletic and perhaps 3-4 OLB is a better fit for his skills than 4-3 DE, where he was tried in Detroit. He's worth monitoring in sack-heavy IDP leagues. |
