Prospects for 2017

It’s too early to tell.

Obviously, Kiko Alonso will be on the field plenty. Same goes for Lawrence Timmons. And often the Dolphins will go with five defensive backs, leaving a need for only two linebackers.

Hewitt’s edges among the backups fighting for a roster spot and playing time are his contributions on special teams, continued improvement as just a 24-year-old and low salary cap number.

I like Hewitt and think he's solid, but something has been holding him back if he was quickly supplanted by Donald Butler. At least, there's been so little information on him, I just assumed.

Would love it if he seized a starting role.
 
I think he is a tad slow but he does make up for it with his strength. If he can become more fluid in coverage and getting to the runner, I think he should be decent. Whether starting or not, he will see the field this year.
 
He made 2 or 3 plays last year, but he should have made 10 or 15 given the amount of snaps he played...I think we've seen his best
