It was day one of joint practices with the Atlanta Falcons in South Florida for the Miami Dolphins today, and by all accounts, it was a solid day for the team clad in aqua. However, one Dolphins player was actually wearing an orange jersey — the jersey given to the prior session’s best performer.
That player was linebacker Jerome Baker!

Baker is seemingly excelling in new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s scheme — and now he has an orange jersey award to show for his hard work. The Dolphins will need Baker and his running mate, the newly acquired David Long Jr., to ball out in 2023 if their defense is to reach the lofty expectations set forth by the fanbase and even the national media this offseason.
