Where does CB Nik Needham fit in the secondary?
Needham was one of the best storylines from the Dolphins’ 2019 season — an undrafted free agent who improved by leaps and bounds from the start of the year to the end of the season. But Needham’s play didn’t exactly inspire the Dolphins to invest hopes into him, as the team tacked on several prominent cornerbacks and marginalized Needham’s positioning in the defensive backfield.
Now, the Sun-Sentinel’s Omar Kelly reported Needham is an “afterthought” in Miami’s secondary, trailing behind rookie Noah Igbinoghene and Jamal Perry for reps in the slot. Where does he fit, if at all, in Miami’s overhauled corner room?
