Dolphins have been awarded CB Breon Borders off waivers from Pittsburgh.
- Thread starter AL R
- Start date
Defensive Coordinator, Josh Boyer appears to have a real good eye for identifying potential CBs that fit the system. (Don't forget that Boyer had 13 years under Belichick - he too has been trained by the best). He developed Malcolm Butler from an undrafted free agent from West Alabama to a key player in New England where he helped win a Super Bowl. He also saw something in Nik Needham last year in Miami, was actively involved in recruiting him from the University of Texas - El Paso Miners and after a mediocre start, had him competing really well towards the end of the season. Best pleasant surprise of 2019.
If Boyer and Coach Flo see something in Borders (a player I had never heard of), then let's see what the kid has. There's nothing to lose. BTW - Borders was educated at Duke - so he's probably quite bright. However, after 6 other teams have previously signed and then cut him, it's probably unlikely that he makes the roster. Raheem Mostert type reclamations are possible but rare.

He seems to be a Borders-line starter from what I could see

I loved his bookstores.
Well, if Borders picks off the potential game winning pass at the goal line in the Super Bowl, I'll be ecstatic.

Flores has a hard on for DB's.
Thx - I had never heard of Borders. What specific role does he perform on Special Teams? Don't forget we also acquired 2 Special Teams stars in Clayton Fejedelem (Cincinnati) and Kamu Grugier-Hill (Philadelphia). Fejedelem was signed for relatively big $ on day 1 of Free Agency.
I understand the need for DB’s and agree we need a stable of them, still, when cuts come it will be a numbers game.
The team will still need OL depth and so on, at some point it seems you are overloading one position and sacrificing others. I mean it’s similar to what Mike did at the DL positions.
Just a thought..
