The Miami Dolphins have their much-needed cornerback.

"They're expecting me to come in and make plays and learn the defense," Howard said.
He said he models his game after Patrick Peterson and Darrelle Revis and described himself as "a physical cornerback."
Howard said he loves to play press. Good, because that's what the Dolphins are going to ask him to do.
