During the 2014 season, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver unit was clearly one that wasn’t cohesive nor one that worked together within the offense. Following the season, the front office moved swiftly, releasing Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson while trading Mike Wallace. They then traded for Kenny Stills, signed Greg Jennings and drafted DeVante Parker in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft. The only holdovers from 2014? Jarvis Landry, Rishard Matthews and Matt Hazel.
Now, with a revamped group that better fits the offensive philosophy, things are looking up for the wide receiver unit and head coach Joe Philbin didn’t hold back when talking about how excited he was while also seemingly taking shots at receivers he had in 2014.
