Fans often seem to have a soft spot for those try-hard special teams players who somehow always seem to be the first guys around the ball on kicks and punts. Guys like former Buffalo Bills player Steve Tasker. Miami Dolphins fans might have a new one to fawn over in rookie linebacker Tony Bua. He has impressed the team with his ability to run under kicks and punts and he plays with a nastiness that will be evident when the pads go on in training camp. "That guy gets after it," Dolphins coach Dave Wannstedt said. Bua is undersized at 5-feet-11, 218 pounds, and he played some safety at Arkansas, but there is no doubting his ability to hit people. We loved him coming out as a potential special-teams standout, and word out of Miami is that he's doing everything to confirm that assessment. Watch out for Boom Boom Bua.
