    saw this on Dolphins.com and thought it was cool. I always love players that are fans of a team, and becomes a player for that team. I always wonder what players thinks if they are a Huge fan of a team like the Dolphins, and gets drafted by the Jets, and have a great career on that team, they would have to be a Jet for the rest of their lives. Just found it interesting. Anyway thought this was pretty cool.

    Is it just me or does he have enormous hands in that first picture?

    My other thought was "how does that skinny kid grow into a DE?"

    Funny thread... lol...

    "oh-live-eee-aay" played 445 snaps (39%), and was rated the #34 overall DE in a 4-3. He dropped into coverage 54 times, with a good grade of +2.5. He played the run 102 times, with a good grade of +2.8.


    Vernon rushed the QB 289 times, with 3 sacks, 7 QB hits, and 11 hurries. His grade was a -6.1. He left a lot of plays on the field, but showed improvement over the season as a pass rusher.


    Reports are that, like JMartin, he worked his *** off during the off season... Looking for better things from him this season. Be nice to have him and Misi both able to give us more in QB pressures.
