Dolphins breakout hopeful taking inspiration from iconic Miami legend

The Miami Dolphins could only spend so much on the free-agent market with all their self-inflicted salary cap woes, but new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan is counting on some diamonds in the rough to emerge.

One of them happens to be a Miami native. Once upon a time, Josh Uche was a second-round pick out of Michigan. Jim Harbaugh's program prepared him for what lay ahead in New England under Bill Belichick, and in his third NFL season, Uche broke out with 11.5 sacks.

It's been something of a rocky road since then. The Pats ultimately traded Uche to Kansas City in 2024, and he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason.
