Overview
- Dolphins announced the signing of DJ Herman, an undrafted San Diego State linebacker now listed at fullback after a rookie minicamp tryout.
- The move fills the roster spot left by Pro Bowl fullback Alec Ingold, who departed in free agency for the Chargers.
- Miami had no other players listed at fullback, which gives Herman a clearer path to reps in camp.
- Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik has said a fullback can help but is not required in his system, so special teams play will be key for Herman.
- Herman played 49 college games with 56 tackles and extensive special teams work, and he was the only tryout player the team signed from minicamp.
