The Splash Zone 5/8/23: Most important newcomers to the Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have plenty of new faces on their roster and coaching staff after making additions this offseason. Coaching staff wise, Vic Fangio is the biggest addition to Mike McDaniel’s coaching staff. Wherever Fangio has gone, his defenses have flourished and with the amount of talent on the defensive side, the expectations are high for this unit. Speaking of defense, Chris Grier pulled off another trade for a star player and acquired Jalen Ramsey from the Los Angeles Rams right before free agency began. The hope is with the addition of Ramsey, Xavien Howard can get back to form after playing 2022 mostly injured and form one of the best cornerback duos in the league.
