Former University of Miami running back Mark Walton was arrested three times during the offseason in a span of three months, thus resulting in the Cincinnati Bengals releasing Walton this past April. On Sunday afternoon, the Miami Dolphins gave Walton an ultimate second chance, something very few professional athletes get a chance to see.
Walton, along with center Kirk Barron and cornerback Jamar Summers, were signed following a tryout at rookie minicamp this past weekend.
What does this mean moving forward for Walton? No, he is not officially on the 53-man roster, and the reason being is because OTAs have only just begun.
