Alvin Kamara wins Florida sport fishing tournament

Alvin Kamara took some time off between Saints offseason workouts to get out on the water and reel in a tournament-winning sailfish:

Props to Alvin Kamara for making the most of his offseason. The New Orleans Saints running back headlined “The Catch” sport fishing tournament in Florida last week, teaming up with Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert to win the whole thing. They competed with other NFL players including Kamara’s former Saints teammates Trey Hendrickson and Jameis Winston.

One of the highlights of the fishing rodeo came when Kamara and two of his teammates hooked three sailfish at the same time. Kamara described it as “Chaos. Organized chaos … It was great. Lot of moving parts, but I think we did it effortlessly. Raheem was on there. He was fighting for his life. I was fighting for my life for a second. I got mine in first. We had to give Raheem some moral support.”

It was a fun time for all. With offseason training sessions ramping up as the summer approaches, it’s good to see veterans like Kamara making time to enjoy themselves before locking in for months of hard work.

Other teams reportedly have Texas WR Xavier Worthy ‘circled for Miami’

Mike McDaniel loves speed, so it’s no mystery why other NFL teams think the Dolphins will go after Xavier Worthy.

It’s no secret that speed has been coveted by the Miami Dolphins since the team hired head coach Mike McDaniel in 2022. Last season, six of the 10 fastest speeds recorded by an NFL ball-carrier were achieved by Dolphins players with Tyreek Hill appearing three times, De’Von Achane twice, and Raheem Mostert once.

So it’s not hard to understand why other NFL teams expect the Dolphins to go after Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy, owner of the fastest 40-yard dash time in NFL Scouting Combine history.

“One name I’ve heard circled for Miami from other teams is Texas WR Xavier Worthy, who would add even more speed to the offense, and perhaps give the team an off-ramp with Tyreek Hill over the next year or two,” Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer wrote Monday.

Worthy put down a blazing, record-breaking 4.21 40-yard dash in March, along with an impressive 41-inch vertical. The three-time All-Big 12 selection was productive on the field too with 2,755 receiving yards and 26 touchdown receptions in three seasons with the Longhorns.

At his pro day, Worthy ramped up speculation that he’d become a member of the Dolphins when he posted a photo with McDaniel on his Instagram:

But after measuring in at a slight 5’11, 165 pounds, a spot in the first round looks iffy for Worthy. According to NFLMockDraftDatabase.com, the Texas receiver appears in the first round of 44.2 percent of mocks and an average of No. 34 overall. That puts him squarely in the middle of the Dolphins’ No. 21 and No. 55 selections.

While it would be a surprise if the Dolphins opted to take Worthy with their first selection, it might be even more surprising if the Texas receiver is still on the board after the top 50 picks are called. Perhaps a trade or two could put Miami in better position to add Worthy.

For now, though, the Dolphins don’t stand out as a particular logical landing spot for the receiver, even if his otherworldly speed has McDaniel written all over it.

Dolphins’ Raheem Mostert wins ‘The Catch’ NFL fishing competition

Raheem Mostert and Alvin Kamara teamed up to beat a dozen other NFL players in a fishing competition Saturday.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert teamed up with New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara to win “The Catch” on Saturday, a Sport Fishing Championship competition that saw 14 NFL players partnering with professional fishermen.

Mostert and Kamara were grouped with Toby and Jaselyn Berthelot on the “Rising Son’s” team and came out on top in the contest:

Here are some highlights from Mostert’s successful day out on the water in Fort Lauderdale, Fla:

Mostert, 32, isn’t a stranger to the open water. The New Smyrna Beach, Fla. native has long enjoyed saltwater and freshwater fishing in his free time. In 2019, he supported Ocean Conservancy on My Cause, My Cleats week while he was still a member of the San Francisco 49ers.

His experience at sea clearly came in handy as he led his team to victory Saturday.

Mostert earned Pro Bowl honors for the first time in his career in 2023, finishing the season with an NFL-leading 18 rushing touchdowns. In March, he agreed to an extension with the Dolphins that added an additional year to his contract.

Raheem Mostert makes his case that he’s the fastest Dolphins player

Tyreek Hill’s speed is legendary, but Raheem Mostert says he’s faster.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s electric speed has made him one of the biggest stars of the NFL and earned him the nickname “Cheetah.” But Raheem Mostert says Hill isn’t even the fastest player on the Dolphins’ roster.

“You’re looking at him,” Mostert said on a podcast with Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Arik Armstead. “That’s me. I’m taking that title. I’m the fastest.”

It’s a bold claim on a team with not only Hill, but wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back De’Von Achane too.

“We argue all the time,” Mostert said. “Everybody goes back off of track, but I’ve got that too. I’m a three-time Big Ten champ, I made national championships twice.”

It’s true. Before the former Purdue running back put down a 4.34 40-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine, Mostert won Big Ten titles in the 60m, 100m, and 200m with the Boilermakers.

But Hill reportedly ran a 4.29 40 at his pro day before the 2016 NFL draft and Achane ran a 4.32 at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. And even Mostert can’t help but admit that Hill does things on the football field that are hard to explain.

“When we traded for him and he gets on the team, like the first day, this man hit like a slant and go and the way he ran, bro, out of there. I’m like ‘Oh yeah, no he’s a glitch,'” Mostert said. “Like, he has his back turned against the defender, he catches the ball and instantly he’s already ready to do a double up move. … It makes no sense.”

Evidently, seeing Hill’s speed in person didn’t settle the debate and a friendly competition started instead.

Dolphins agree to extension with RB Raheem Mostert

Dolphins reward RB Raheem Mostert for record-breaking season with an extension.

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert had an incredible 2023 campaign which resulted in the Purdue product rushing for a career-high 1,012 yards on 4.8 yards per carry and a franchise single-season record 18 rushing touchdowns.

The Dolphins extended Mostert on Friday to reward the running back for his impressive performance, according to his agent Brett Tessler.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the deal, which will now keep him in South Florida through the 2025 season is for two years and is worth up to $9.08 million.

Mostert has done everything that’s been asked of him since joining the Dolphins in 2022 and has been much healthier than he was at earlier points in his career. If he can stay on the field and continue to lead a group that also includes De’Von Achane, Jeff Wilson Jr., Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks, Miami should have a dominant running game again in 2024.
