• Over six seasons with the Dolphins, Needham played 63 games, recorded 200 tackles, six interceptions, and 25 pass deflections, and became known for his versatility in the secondary.
• A 2022 Achilles injury significantly impacted Needham’s performance, limiting his role during the 2023 and 2024 seasons before his departure.
