Steady, Underrated Misi Keeps On Keeping On

Quick -- of the various players the Miami Dolphins started at the three linebacker spots in 2015, which one was ranked among the NFL's top 20 linebackers by Pro Football Focus ? That's right: Koa Misi. The man whose full name (take a deep breath, folks) is Nawa'akoa Lisiate Foti Analesinoa Misi has been one of Miami's most enduring players on either side of the ball since being selected in the second round of the 2010 draft.

Going into that draft, the Dolphins, who, at the time, ran a 3-4 scheme, were widely reported to be looking at the University of Texas outside linebacker Sergio Kindle.
