Watch Hard Knocks: In Season with the Miami Dolphins, Season 1 | Prime Video

Now that the preseason is over, we know, for the most part, which players will make the final 53-man roster for our Miami Dolphins. Sure, there will be those who get cut or make the roster who surprise us individually or as a group. They are the one or two cuts that always make you go, “WTF?”, “I didn’t see that coming!”. Beyond those surprise cuts amongst the bubble players and sometimes vets that you believed to be “locks,” there are other guys who surprised you or the fan base.

There are always draft picks and undrafted free agents, and sometimes, there are even free agent signings that we all thought were “meh” when we saw them, but in time, we saw the genius of drafting or signing the player. Most of these players that you thought little of when drafted or signed may have seemed unlikely to make the roster at all and now are either locks to make the final roster or are very unlikely to make it to the practice squad without being poached by another team.
