Jay Ajayi Comes with Risk, but Dolphins Found Potential Workhorse RB in Round 5

Running back, by nature, is a combustible position. The Miami Dolphins know that, and so does their new running back, Jay Ajayi, who was selected in the fifth round Saturday despite apparently having a knee that's held together with fishing line.

“I just don’t know if he’ll hold up physically,” a scout told McGinn. “He’s had a lot of carries.”

A nearly annual dilemma was presented to the Dolphins and, well, every other team that watched Ajayi plunge from potentially being a second-round pick all the way to Round 5.

Put another way…
