I know championship teams make request to meet people but does that apply for Gold Medalists too. I would love to meet my fellow Dolphin @MichelleObama #OnceADolphinAlwaysADolphin

While Ohio State rookies have been making noise all across the NFL, perhaps none have generated quite as much positive buzz as Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The talented wideout has impressed at Seattle’s minicamp, and is already dreaming of a Super Bowl ring.

I was definitely impressed with Taylor Mikesell tonight. She's definitely a sharpshooter. Hopefully, Coach Wright will use her more often moving forward. I was also happy to see LA getting more playing time tonight as well.
