Heading into the 2017 season, the Miami Dolphins had high hopes for their team. On defense, the addition of second-round draft pick Raekwon McMillan, was supposed to solidify the middle of the field for years to come. Unfortunately, his first play as a professional football player, ended with a season-ending injury. In wake of his injury, Kiko Alonso was moved back to MLB, and the defense struggled mightily, relying on veteran linebacker Lawrence Timmons and a rotation of Stephone Anthony and Chase Allen.
This year, Raekwon McMillan should be healthy and Kiko Alonso will move back to the outside.
