The Miami Dolphins have been doing good work convincing young players to stay engaged and excited and motivated about what they’re doing. Nowhere is that more true than with defensive end Charles Harris and cornerback Cordrea Tankersley.
Both players have been on the listening end of multiple pep talks and uplifting messages in recent weeks from team personnel. The purpose is to keep the players’ heads in their assignments and, frankly, their jobs.
And it has generally worked.
Ask Harris, the first-round pick of the 2017 draft, how he’s doing and playing and it seems he takes a page from one of those positives talks.
