MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins seventh-round pick and quarterback Brandon Doughty is hopeful and optimistic. But in the locker room Thursday night, Doughty made sure to say his goodbyes to teammates just in case.
The Dolphins must cut 22 players by Saturday to get down to the NFL-mandated 53-man roster to begin the regular season. Doughty, who is a South Florida native, grew up a Dolphins fan and was ecstatic to be drafted by his hometown team. However, Doughty and dozens of other Dolphins players are on the roster bubble.
“I’m going to sit and wait and pray that I don’t get a call,” Doughty said.
