Oh, yes! You all know what time it is! It’s time for your daily report on which players are dominating at Dolphins practice during the offseason. It’s orange jersey award reporting time!
The Dolphins hit the practice field for another training camp practice on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida. Most players were wearing either white or aqua practice jerseys, however, one player was adorned in the bright orange threads denoting the best practice performer from the previous session.
Today, that player was none other than tight end Julian Hill!
Hill — a second-year undrafted player out of Campbell University — becomes the first tight end to receive the award this offseason for the Miami Dolphins.
Hill has more competition for snaps this year, as Miami brought in Jody Fortson (previously of the Kansas City Chiefs) and Jonnu Smith (previously of the Atlanta Falcons, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans) to bolster the tight end room. Miami’s fourth round draft pick from the 2018 NFL Draft, Durham Smythe, remains the Dolphins starting tight end as well.
Hill has recently received plenty of praise from people who are “in-the-know” for his tenacity and blocking prowess. His unique skillset all but guarantees him a roster spot once Miami trims their roster down to the required 53 players once preseason concludes.
