[h=3]The three Dolphins players recognized were running back Jay Ajayi (second team), defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (second team) and special teams standout Michael Thomas (honorable mention).[/h]
[FONT=&quot]Three Dolphins players were recognized when Pro Football Focus unveiled its 2016 All-Pro team. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The All-Pro teams were based mostly on the season grades handed out by the analytics and analysis website featured on NBC’s “Football Night in America.” [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The three Dolphins players recognized were running back [/FONT]Jay Ajayi[FONT=&quot], defensive tackle [/FONT]Ndamukong Suh[FONT=&quot] and special teams standout [/FONT]Michael Thomas[FONT=&quot]. Ajayi and Suh both earned second-team accolades, while Thomas got honorable mention. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Suh, who earned a spot on the AFC Pro Bowl roster and was a second-team AP All-Pro, was the third-highest player among interior defenders — a designation used by both AP and PFF instead of the traditional defensive tackle or nose tackle — behind only Aaron Donald of the St. Louis Rams and Calais Campbell of the Arizona Cardinals.

[FONT=&quot]Ajayi didn’t earn a spot on the initial Pro Bowl roster, but he was PFF’s highest-graded running back this season, ahead of Le’Veon Bell and rookie Ezekiel Elliott, who got the nod as PFF’s first-team All-Pro Bowl running back. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Here’s what PFF wrote about Ajayi: Jay Ajayi makes the second team after transforming the Miami offense and leading all running backs (minimum of 100 carries) in yards per carry after contact (3.5) and broken tackles (58)—11 more than any other runner on the ground.” [/FONT][FONT=&quot]
