Football returned to the practice fields at Doctors Hospital Training Facility this week as the Miami Dolphins kicked off their 2015 rookie minicamp with 53 NFL hopefuls.
Led by Miami’s draft class of seven selections including first round pick DeVante Parker, the group of rookies also featured many undrafted free agents and tryout players, all looking to impress the Dolphins coaching staff this past weekend.
The team also announced plans for celebrating the team’s 50th season, as we heard from team CEO Tom Garfinkel, Dolphins legend Don Shula and Senior VP of Alumni Relations Nat Moore on the subject.
