Thanks for starting this thread. I know we will all want to keep abreast of the goings on at the mini camps as much as possible. Things like this make the offseason very interesting.

Jerome Messam @JMessam All this talk about mental health issues after football careers is scary stuff. We choose to play this game tho! #playnowthinklater Kelcie McCray @primetime_kmac Number 37 tho? I gotta see if I can get that changed lol... McCray getting YB's old jersey.
If thats the case... sounds like I'm going to end up being a stalker from the top of the parking garage with a pair of binoculars!
This is one of the biggest barriers to the NFL making any strides in concussion research. If you look at the NHL, the players themselves are coming out and saying how important it is that they learn more about concussions and that it's the player's responsibilities to look out for each other on the ice. In the NFL there's a stigma about sitting out with a concussion. As long as that is perpetuated by players there will never be any change. Hell, look at Sidney Crosby. He was out for several months after the concussion he sustained. I just hope that one day the players of the NFL can adopt the attitude of the players of the NHL when it comes to this issue because the sad part is for some guys there's not much "later" to occupy with thinking...even if you still can.
Josh Kaddu @JoshKaddu First day at the Dolphins facilities..great things going on over there #bright future kheeston randall @KRan409 What's going on Miami how are y'all doing tonight? Kevyn Scott @K_Scott26 Just gettin back to the hotel. Just in time to check out the 2nd half of the Heat game.. Kevyn Scott @K_Scott26 Lol. Charles Barkley is a fool.. J. Haulcy-Bateman @Nunya_Biznaz Putting on that NFL shield tomorrow. Feel like a kid in a candy store #Excited
I think Josh Kaddu is going to be a player for us. He has a similar body style to Dansby. Could be an interesting relationship to watch over the summer between those two.
J. Haulcy-Bateman @Nunya_Biznaz They need too stop bailing queen James out. You can't just give him a ring ref #JustSayin
Derek Dennis @6BONECRUSHER3 Day 1 was kool now the real work begins tomorrow #dolphinnation #FINSUP
Its gotta be a great feeling getting drafted, similar to having your first child. Sent from the depths of hell using Tapatalk.

Jesse Agler @finsjesse So everyone's on the same page: first practice for rookies today at 230. open to media. rest of weekend's camp is closed. meaning we won't get anything
Cameron Collins appears to have some good measurables - 30 reps of 225 at 238 pounds as well as 35.5 ft vertical...
Philbin's such a realist. It's pretty funny. Incidentally in my opinion the corners all have a leg up as far as making the final 53 man roster. Nolan Carroll is beatable and the fifth guy right now is scheduled to be Jonathan Wade or Quinten Lawrence and that's very beatable, even for a rookie undrafted free agent. The Syracuse guy is probably only a half step away from being the favorite for the 5th roster spot at corner.
what about the kid from Cal Lutheran, who is a division 3 sleeper? My initial reaction is that Ireland dropped the ball on cbs unless there is a conversion for a guy like McCray or Wiley.
He just went through about as big of a tragedy as someone can so I'm sure he just doesn't believe in bull****ting anyone. Seems like a very tough guy though so hopefully he can work through it with no other problems. I wonder where Jimmy Wilson will end up playing.
Interesting. I remember ck posting that he was fairly certain RM would be the FS and I guess everyone just assumed JW would be trained at CB. If it works it works. Nice to have a 4.5 guy back there, but it makes me really wonder what in the world happened to Chris Clemons.
Again , Ireland said he was a CB , so we all should take him at his word , much like when he said Martin was drafted as a RT.
It is interesting the corner position was not only neglected in the draft, but also with the undrafted signees. Only Kevyn Scott IMO would be a corner. Wylie, Evans and McCray all appear to be safeties. I think my CLU guy has a legit shot to at least be added to the 90 man list after this weekend. We'll see. EDIT: Forgot about CB Trenton Hughes, Maryland who apparently is signed (not an invitee)... but I think that puts us over 90. hmmm...
