A front runner has emerged, stepping to the forefront of the Miami Dolphins' most concerning position group.
Head coach Adam Gase admitted that second-year tailback Jay Ajayi is the clubhouse leader when it comes to the vacant starting spot during a Thursday morning interview with WQAM.
Gase claimed Ajayi, a former Boise standout whom the Dolphins selected in the fifth-round of the 2015 NFL draft, has put some distance between himself and Damien Williams, Daniel Thomas, Isaiah Pead, Jahwan Edwards, and Kenyan Drake, the 2016 second-round pick, who hasn't practiced with the team yet.
