Depending on whom you asked, Kalen Ballage either had a 50-plus-yard touchdown run Saturday or was stopped at the line of scrimmage.
It was the Dolphins’ first padded practice of the year, and Balllage busted through the line and could not be caught. Up for debate: Whether defensive end Cameron Malveaux would have tackled the rookie before the run really began, if allowed to.
Whatever the truth, Ballage flashed real ability on the run, and led many to question again how he was the 12th running back selected in April’s draft.
He has been arguably their best rookie since then — and unarguably their best offensive rookie.
