As the NFL Draft approaches, the Miami Dolphins are adding a piece of international talent to the 90-man roster. Durval Queiroz Neto, a 6'4", 325 pound defensive tackle will join the Miami Dolphins as an allocated player from the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program, according to league sources.
Once training camp officially opens in mid-July, Neto will join the Dolphins’ 90-man roster, and compete for a spot. Queiroz, if signed to the 53-man roster, will become just the second Brazilian player in NFL history, joining Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Cairo Santos, who became the first in 2014.
Queiroz, 25, was one of seven different athletes from five countries to participate for a spot in the program for the upcoming regular season.
