Will Eric Rowe repeat his strong finish to 2019?

Eric Rowe was Miami’s successful reclamation project from the 2019 season. The team pooled together a slew of former high draft selections that had yet to live up to their expectations in the NFL. Among the likes of Josh Rosen, Robert Nkemdiche and Nate Orchard, Rowe was the former high pick who actually shined with Miami last season.

All it took was a transition from cornerback to safety — where Rowe was charged primarily with covering tight ends and playing physical in coverage. Rowe yielded a passer rating of just over 80.0 on the season in coverage and his ability to bump heads with tight ends allowed him to thrive. It also helped that Rowe was able to stay healthy, playing a full season for the first time since his rookie season in 2015 with the Eagles.

Can he do it again?
