The Miami Dolphins may be bracing for their home opening contest tomorrow afternoon, but the team’s front office will have their hands full today with some other tasks. First and foremost, the team’s scouting department will be keeping a close eye on another weekend of college football action. With the uncertainty around the college game, these games are a valuable sampling of prospects as NFL teams look to find valuable pieces of the puzzle to help continue to push their team over the top.
Who should Miami be keeping a close eye on today? Here are five talents playing that could be possible top-100 selections in next year’s draft.
Safety Andre Cisco, Syracuse Orange
If the Dolphins are going to be in the market for ballhawks on the back end of their defense next offseason, you’d be wise to start with Cisco. The Orange safety might not be an ideal tackler but his ball skills are excellent and his ability in coverage showed up last week as the safety plucked an interception off of North Carolina QB prodigy Sam Howell. Syracuse plays Pittsburgh at 12 noon EST.
