Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores, safety Bobby McCain, cornerback Byron Jones, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, defensive tackle Brandin Bryant and safety Kavon Frazier were among 16 members of the team who spoke on the field before Friday’s practice in wake of the Jacob Blake shooting in Wisconsin that has sparked national protests.
Although nine NFL teams chose to not practice on Thursday in protest of the Blake incident, the Dolphins decided to continue practicing Friday after a scheduled off day on Thursday.
Before practice, Flores said he has experienced racial profiling, and had a gun pointed to him by police at least once during his life.
