TE Durham Smythe

Every time Smythe’s name is brought up when discussing the Dolphins, it is mentioned how much the coaching staff seems to like him. He’s a hard worker, he’s reliable and he’s mentally tough. But there’s more that goes into being an asset than that — and it seems the Dolphins’ scouting department agrees. With Smythe entering into a contract year this season, Miami used a top-100 choice on a tight end; putting Smythe’s role in jeopardy.

Consider this: Mike Gesicki is one of the Dolphins’ best weapons. This regime traded for and extended Adam Shaheen in the last year. The franchise just signed Cethan Carter this offseason and has now drafted Hunter Long.

Who doesn’t that bode well for in the long run?

Smythe.
