Defensive Line

  • Charles Harris
  • Christian Wilkins
  • Davon Godchaux
  • Tank Carradine
  • Jonathan Ledbetter
  • Vincent Taylor
  • Akeem Spence
  • Adolphus Washington
  • Nate Orchard
  • Tyrone Holmes
  • Robert Nkemdiche

Harris is a young guy who needs to take a step forward in his third season. Carradine, Ledbetter, Orchard, and Holmes will rotate in as the other edge rushers at defensive ends. The Dolphins will have a good rotation at defensive tackle led by young talents Godchaux and Wilkins. Taylor, Spence, and Washington will provide solid depth and a veteran presence to the young group. The Dolphins are hoping a change of scenery is good for Nkemdiche and allows him to finally live up to his first-round pedigree.

Player to watch: Joey Mbu
