Miami Dolphins assistant Gerald Alexander is a young coach, trying his to make his mark in his first opportunity to work at the NFL level.
So, to make a quick, lasting impression on new boss, coach Brian Flores, and the players he’s coaching, he introduced a contest that could have a positive effect on the Dolphins secondary this season and beyond.
The objective for the Dolphins defensive backs is simple: Just get to the football. Get you hands on the football. Secure the football. And certainly, don’t drop it.
It should be called ballhawk, because that is what Alexander is trying to develop out of every player on the back end of the Dolphins defense.
