4 things to know about new Dolphins TE Tyler Kroft

Get familiar with the former Rutgers tight end.

Last week, the Miami Dolphins addressed one of their biggest roster needs, signing former Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Kroft to a one-year deal.

Prior to the transaction, Miami had five tight ends on the roster – Durham Smythe, Eric Saubert, Tanner Conner, Elijah Higgins and Julian Hill. However, only Smythe and Saubert have legitimate experience playing the position at the NFL level.

Kroft can at least bring experience to a group that’s sorely missing it.

Before he steps on the field at Hard Rock Stadium, it’s a good time for fans to get to know their newest tight end.
