The Dolphins inked yet another rookie over the weekend. This time it's 5th round draftee, Reshad Jones, the safety out of Georgia. The deal is for 4 years at $1.95 million.
Jones has the physical tools, but by many accounts he's been invisible so far in the safety competition. Still, it's early days and you don't generally expect a rookie from the later rounds to upstage the veterans early on. While Chris Clemons seems the current favorite to win the starting Free Safety job come September, I'd expect Jones to keep pushing Clemons. Competition is good - even if Jones doesn't supplant Clemons, the competition should only make Clemons better and more battle-hardened.
