Coming in without much fanfare is nothing new for Patrick Laird.

One of seven running backs on the Dolphins roster, Laird arrived this offseason from the University of California much the same way he landed at the Pac-12 school — as a rookie free agent after initially being a walk-on at Cal.

He’s an avid reader who ended up writing a great story for himself in college, and the opening chapter of his professional career is off to a good start.

Seems like a jack of all trades, master of none type of guy.

If he is busting his butt out there, making the right reads in the run game/blocking, I think they'll find a way to keep that type of player.

Always seem to root for these type of guys. Walk on in college and in the NFL.
 
Flores really had very positive words for the kid in his presser. Based on
his statements I think (barring the unforeseen) the kid makes the 53.
He's embodied the principles and work ethic and ramping up that
Flores constantly presents -- makes him a prime example of
what we're all about IMO.
